In our Fourth Edition of Monday we published the particulars of a melancholy accident which occurred on Sunday off Rhyl, when the Point of Ayr lifeboat was upset, and the whole of the crew, 13 in number, met with a watery grave.
All except four were married men, with large families. Three or four men got upon the bottom of the boat after she upset, but they, were soon washed. The boat and crew were proceeding to the sucoour of a brigantine sunk off Pensarn, Abergele, but the Rhyl lifeboat had previously succeeded in saving the crew, 14 men, who were on the rigging.
The boat, botom
up, and nine of the bodies, were washed ashore, and picked up near the Voryd station.
The following are the names
of the crew appointed to the ill-fated lifoboat :-Robert Beck, aged 37, master; John Sherlock, John Blyddon, aged 38; John Owens, aged 37; Joseph Davies, aged 30;
David Davies, aged 25; Thos. Roberts, aged 28; Richard Roberts Elward Palia, Bobe; Robert Roberts.....
