DECEMBER 7TH. - MOELFRE, ANGLESEY.

An outward-bound convoy. under the command of Rear-admiral Ramsey, was passing. A gale was blowing and a drifter, which should have been there to bring ashore the pilots, had not arrived, so at 10.30 A.M. the coastguard asked that the life-boat G.W. should be launched in place of her. A boat had come ashore from the convoy with the admiral. This boat, with the admiral and the crew of six, the life-boat took in tow when she put out at 10.40. She towed it back to the steamer Teucer. From this steamer she took off the pilot and the compass adjuster. She then took a pilot off the steamer David Livingstone, landed the three men, and returned to her station at noon. - Expenses were paid by the Admiralty and a letter of thanks was received from the Pilotage Service of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board..
