The Austrian Schooner Nicolo

On the night of the 31st March, during a gale of wind from the N.W., the Princess of Wales life-boat went off in reply to a signal from the Austrian schooner Nicolo, which had stranded near Penial, Anglesea, to the assistance of some boatmen, who were on board employed in stripping the vessel, but in consequence of the heavy weather were unable to reach the shore. The life-boat took the schooner's crew of 10 men, and 4 workmen, into the life-boat, and brought them safely ashore..
