Allegro
PORT EYNON, GLAMORGANSHIRE. — During a strong S.W. gale and heavy sea, on the morning of the 25th February, a vessel was observed to bedrifting apparently in a helpless condition.
The crew of the Life-boat A Daughter's Offering were quickly assembled and the boat successfully launched.
They proceeded to the vessel, which was the barque Allegro, of Skudesnaes, and at the request of the master, stood by for upwards of three hours. The vessel was then drifting towards the Port Talbot Sands, so the master asked that the Life-boat should run to Swansea, and, if possible, procure a tug. Having reached Swansea they found it impossible to return, so remained in harbour that night and returned to Port Eynon next day..
