PORTHDINLLAEN, NORTH WALES. On the 18th January fearful weather was experienced here, and the Life-boat George Moore was twice launched to the assistance of the crews of distressed vessels.

The wind was blowing a very heavy gale from the E.N.E., and it was freezing hard when the boat was first launched at,halfpast one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only with difficulty that she was enabled to rescue the crew of three men from the smack Fishguard Lass, of Abersoch, which was then at anchor in the bay in a dangerous position, and which shortly afterwards parted her second chain and drove ashore. At about 7.30 in the evening, the gale still blowing very hard from the same direction, the schooner Miss Beck, of Carnarvon, parted her anchors and drove on a rock called Garreg Oysters. The Life-boat quickly proceeded to her assistance, but the vessel was in such an awkward position that the greatest difficulty was experienced in rescuing the crew of five men, the boat.
