AUGUST 11TH. - HOLYHEAD, ANGLESEY.

At 1.55 A.M. the coastguard reported a boat in difficulties off Black Rocks, Salt Island. She was flashing a torch. A W.N.W.

gale was blowing, with a nasty, choppy sea, and the boat was in a dangerous position.

At 2.20 A.M. the motor life-boat A.E.D. was launched. She found six men in the boat.

They had managed to hang on to a boat at anchor and so had saved themselves from being driven on to the outlying rocks. The life-boat took them on board, took their boat in tow and brought them safely back to their ship, the Admiralty drifter Ocean Vine. She returned to her station at 3.20 A.M.
