Storm, of Cardiff

At daylight on the 17th November, the barque Storm, of Cardiff, was observed ashore about six miles from this place, with a signal of dis- tress flying, the wind blowing strongly at the time from the N.N.E. The Life-boat Cheltenham was promptly taken out to the vessel in tow of the steam-tug Victor, when it was found she had parted two anchors and drifted on the rocks. At the time there were only the mate and 4 seamen on board, and, at their request, the steamer and Life-boat remained by them until the ebb-tide, when they re- turned to shore..
