Antelope
POHTHDINLLAEN, NORTH WALES. At 11 o'clock on the night of the 6th Sept., 1884, the coxswain of the Life-boat, took up his station at the watch-house, so as to be in readiness should the ser- vices of the boat be required, as the wind was blowing very hard and there were three vessels at anchor in the bay. At 3 A.M. the wind increased to a strong gale from the N.W., accompanied by a heavy sea, and the coxswain then fired rockets for the crew of the George Moore Life-boat to assemble. At 9 o'clock the smack Antelope, of Aberystwyth, laden with! slates, and having a crew of two men on board, showed signals of distress. The Life-boat immediately went to her assist-1 ance, and at the request of the Master put three men on board, who assisted to get the vessel into safety..
