Steamer Runs Aground. The Scandinavian steamer Gefion, while lying in Swansea Bay on Monday afternoon, dragged her anchors while the other side of the Mumbles Head. The captain, realising that his best chance of sawing his ship was to run her aground, kept her bow on and ran between the pier and the lifeboat-house. She refloated on the evening tide and is now in the King's Dock. - Herald of Wales and Monmouthshire Recorder [912] [361] 1st January 1916.
