The S.S. Baroi

PORTHDINLLAEN.—On the 10th April, at 9.30 P.M., during a heavy gale from E.S.E., the s.s. Baroi, of Newcastle, anchored outside the proper roadstead in Porthdinllaen Bay. The wind afterwards shifted to E.N.E., and a heavier sea sprung up, which caused her chain to part, and she then hoisted a signal of distress. The George Moore Life-boat promptly proceeded to her, and, after remaining by her for about two hours, brought the crew of 6 men ashore. The vessel, however, fortunately rode out the gale, and on the following morning the Life-boat put the men on board again..
