Liverpool Echo - Tuesday 21 January 1936:
Lifeboat Rescue Off Great Orme. Men And Woman Saved From Schooner. The Beaumaris lifeboat to-day rescued six men and one woman from a schooner. The abandoned schooner then drifted towards the Great Orme under bare masts at a position about four miles off the west shore at Llandudno. The schooner, The Flying Foam, of Bridgewater, was first noticed in distress by the coastguards at Penmon station. A telephone message was sent to Mr. J. H. Burton, honorary secretary of the Beaumaris lifeboat, who, with Mr. William Hughes, the coxwain, decided to go out with the lifeboat as the schooner was in a dangerous position. A heavy sea was running and half a gale blowing when the lifeboat made her way out to the vessel, which was four and a half miles south-east of Penmon. Six men and one woman, including the owner and his wife, Captain and Mrs. Jackson, and two ship's cats were taken off her, and she was allowed to drift. One of the crew [an AB named William Fewines of Plymouth], in jumping from the schooner to the lifeboat slipped, sustained a bruised rib, and had to be taken to the Bangor Infirmary. The Flying Foam was outward from Liverpool with a cargo of coal, and it is understood she has since foundered.
