At 6.30 P.M. on the 18th May the fishing-boat St. Bridget, of Ballinagoul, whilst returning from Dungarvan, ran on to the rocks near Ballinacourty Light- house, in a squall of rain. As the four men on board were in danger, the Life- boat James Stevens No. 16 was launched to their assistance. Eight Life-boatmen were put on board to lighten the vessel, and with the assistance of the Life- boat she was hauled off and taken to Ballinagoul, the men on board keeping her afloat by bailing. There was a moderate S.E. gale at the time, and the sea was moderately rough..
