The S.S. Fawn
The s.s. Fawn, of Liverpool, was seen approaching the mouth of the riverClwyd in a strong gale from the W.S.W., squally weather, and a rough sea on the night of the 31st August. It was afterwards Boticed that she was not making any headway, and ultimately she fired blue lights and rockets, in response to which the Life-boat Jane Martin proceeded to her assistance and found that a hawser had become entangled with her propeller. As a precautionary measure the Life-boat in two trips landed the passengers, fifty in number, and on the following tide the vessel safely entered the river..
