PORTHDINLLAEN.—The schooner Emperor, of Beaumaris, bound from Cork for Port Dinorwic, in ballast, showed a signal of distress while lying at anchor in the bay during a strong N.E. wind, and a heavy sea, on the 2nd November. The Life-boat, Qeorge Moore, was launched at 3.45 P.M., and on reaching the vessel, found that she had parted one of her chains, and her crew, consisting of three men, were afraid to remain on board as the weather was very threatening.

They were therefore taken into the Lifeboat and brought safely ashore..
