Holyhead, Anglesey.—At 12.5 A.M. on the 29th January, 1938, the coastguard reported that a vessel was dragging her anchors across the bay towards Salt Island. A watch was kept on her, and at about 1.30 A.M. she was seen burning a flare. A strong west gale was then blowing, with a very rough sea. The motor life-boat A.E.D. put out at 1.50 A.M., and found the s.s.

Rivelin, of Liverpool, bound light from Birkenhead to Hayle, dragging towards a dangerous lee shore. Her master wanted a pilot to take her into shelter. The coxswain offered to lead her to a good anchorage, and the lifeboat guided her into the lee of Salt Island, where she was protected from the gale. The life-boat returned to her station at 2.50 A.M. — Rewards, £13 2s. 6d..
