AUGUST 10TH. - BEAUMARIS, ANGLESEY.

At 8.29 in the evening the Penmon coastguard reported that the sailing boat Margaret Elizabeth was in difficulties in the East Channel off Puffin Island. At 8.45 a further report came that the boat had capsized. A strong south-west wind was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat Frederick Kitchen was launched at nine o’clock and as she approached Puffin Island saw two people on the island. She took them on board, and they said that two others were missing. Meanwhile, two men had put out from Penmon in a rowing boat and picked up the missing men. While searching, the life-boat met the rowing boat and took aboard one of the rescued men. She arrived back at her station at 11.45 that night. - Rewards, £10 17s.
