A Small Boat (2)

The motor life- boat G.W. was launched in a strong S.W. breeze, with a rough sea, at noon on the 30th August, as a report had been received that a small boat to the N.E. of Moelfre Island was making signals of distress. The life-boat found that the boat's anchor was caught on the bottom ; the rope was too short, and the boat was being swamped.

The coxswain cut the rope, freed the boat and towed it home. The four people on board, who were visitors from Manchester, wrote a letter express- ing admiration of the seamanship and courtesy of the life-boatmen.-— Rewards, £5 5s. Qd..
