St. Olaf
Llanddulas, NORTH WALES,—On the same morning (14th May), the brigantine St. Olaf, of and from Mandal, Norway, laden with pit-props, for Connah's Quay, near Chester, capsized when about three miles out at sea, off Llanddulas, and her crew of six men and a pilot took to their boat. The occurrence was immediately reported at the Life-boat station, and the Life-boat Henry Nixson, No. 2, was launched at 8.40, and proceeded to the assistance of the boat. The shipwrecked men were taken into the Life-boat and safely landed at Foryd, near Rhyl. The ship's boat would undoubtedly have foundered, had not the Life-boat overtaken it and rendered assistance, as a gale of wind from the WNW. was blowing at the time, accompanied by a rough sea.
