Daring very thick weather, on the 23rd March, intelligence was received that a fishing-boat was aground on the N. side of the bar. A moderate gale was blowing from S.S.W., and the sea was rough. At 4.30 P.M., the Life-boat Andrew Pickard went out to her assistance, and found she was the yawl Arctic, returning to Wexford from the fishing grounds., She was beating heavily on the sands, but, as there was a probability that if she was not rendered leaky she would float with the rising tide, the Life-boat remained close to her.
