RHYL, NORTH WALES.—On the night of the 11th December, while the wind was blowing a gale from the N.N.W., the schooner Lady Stuart, of Chester, was lying to off Point Lynas under reefed sails, and eventually drifted with the flood-tide and gale to opposite Orme's Head. At about 7 A.M. she ran for Chester Bar. When off Rhyl she shipped a heavy sea, which washed away her bulwarks, hatches, and main boom, and smashed the companion skylight and her boat to pieces. She was then found to be in a sinking state, and was steered for the Foryd, when she shipped other heavy seas, and her crew of five men were compelled to take to the rigging, and the vessel was then driven at the mercy of the storm, and ran stern on to the Rhyl promenade pier. Three of the crew jumped on to the pier, but the captain and his son remained on board the schooner, which was 'driven through the pier and went ashore to the eastward, where she sunk. The master and his son were fortunately saved by the Rhyl No. 2 Life-boat, Jane Dalton, which promptly put off to the help of the shipwrecked crew, as soon as their perilous position was observed.
