There is a great deal about this that is not known and I cannot read very much of what is there, but I suspect Disaster at sea for all those of the 27th Jan.

There will be those who are members here more acquainted with the habits and formalities of the Rites of Baptism at that time.
It is me going further out on the limb, but might the 'Parents' be sponsors for children newly orphaned prior to their being re-shipped or interred?
The hand writing for that date suggests to me that the Rite was performed en-mass and the details logged with haste and perhaps under some emotional pressure or with the heaviest of hearts.
A few details would help.

There is however no mention of mass drownings at that time here...
