Beaumaris, Anglesey.—On the morning of the 21st January the Penmon coastguard telephoned that a schooner, although showing no distress signals, was anchored in a very dangerous position about four and a half miles E. by S. of Trwyn Du lighthouse.

Half a gale was blowing from the N.N.W. and a very heavy sea was running. The motor life-boat Frederick Kitchen was launched at 10 A.M., and found the schooner to be the Flying Foam, of Bridgwater, bound with a cargo of coal from Liverpool to Plymouth. She rescued the crew of seven, but one man, in jumping into the life-boat, fell and injured his ribs. The life-boat made for Beaumaris, signalling as she went for a doctor and an ambulance to be at the pier on her arrival. The rescued men were put ashore and the injured man taken to hospital. The life-boat returned to her station at noon. The Flying Foam later parted her cable, and became a total wreck.—Rewards, £6 7s. 6d..
