DUNGARVAN, Co. WATERFORD. — 1.20 P.M. on the 8th January, the Lifeboat William Dunville was launched, a signal of distress having been shown by the fishing cutter John. It was found that the boat had lost her mast, which in falling had injured most of her crew.

She had a jury-mast rigged up with an old sheet flying as a signal of distress.

One man, who had his arm severely injured, was taken into the Life-boat and brought ashore, but the others remained on board their vessel, as a hooker, with the owner of the boat on board, had come out to their assistance..
