SEPTEMBER 3RD. - HOLYHEAD, ANGLESEY.

At 10.35 in the morning the coastguard reported a small vessel drifting on to the Skerries. A strong easterly breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor lifeboat John and Mary Meiklam of Gladswood, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 10.45 and found the auxiliary yacht Octoroon, of Abersoch, a mile west of the Skerries. She had three on board. Her engine had broken down, she was leaking, and the men were exhausted. The life-boat rescued them, gave them rum, and towed the yacht to the outer harbour. She reached her station again at 12.50 that afternoon.- Rewards, £3 2s. 6d.
