PORTHDINLLAEN.—A sudden gale of wind sprang up at about 4 P.M. on the 7th August, accompanied by a heavy cross sea, and four schooners were observed with signals of distress flying.

The George Moore Life-boat was immediately launched, and proceeded to theThetis, of Pwllheli, when it was found that she had struck the ground and was leaking, there being four feet of water in her hold. Two of the Life-boatmen were put on board to assist in keeping her afloat, and the-Boat then proceeded to the James, of Nefyn, and found that she only required assistance to come to the quay.

She then went to the Jane Eliza, of Nefyn, but she did not require any help. Finally the Life-boat proceeded to the Sarah Jane, of Chester, and as the captain's wife was very ill and wished to be taken ashore, she was taken into the boat and safely landed at Porthdinllaen..
