Fishing Boats

The Life-boat Civil Service No. 3 was launched at 5 P.M. on the 29th June to the assistance of two fishing-boats which had been overtaken by bad weather during the afternoon. One boat named Mary was picked up about half a mile from the Killantringam Light-house and the two men taken on board. The skipper of the boat I reported that he had had a very hard time and was very glad that the Life- boat came to his assistance.

A search was made for the other boat and it was found that she had already got into shelter and the crew were safe. The Life-boat, therefore, returned to her station, arriving at 8.30 P.M..
