PORTHDINLLAEN, NORTH WALES. A signal of distress having been shown by the fishing smack Valiant, of Carnarvon, which was at anchor in Porthdinllaen bay, during a N.N.W. wind and a very heavy sea, the George Moore Life-boat was launched at 8 A.M. on the 8th of January. On reaching her, the master requested assistance to get his vessel into safety; whereupon one of the Lifeboat crew jumped overboard from the boat, was taken on board the smack, and piloted her to a safe position. The LifeboatLifeboat returned ashore, and on reaching it, another fishing smack, the Trio, of Carnarvon, showed a signal of distress.

The boat therefore again went out, and put three men on board that vessel, which was then taken to a place of safety.

Each of the vessels had a crew of four men..
