The Life- boat Dunleary was launched a few minutes after midnight on February 14th-15th, in response to a message received from the Coastguard, stating that a pilot-boat, named the Energy, and the schooner Lapwing, of Arklow, had been in collision. The schooner lost all her gear forward, and three of her crew jumped into the pilot- boat, leaving two men on board. When the Life-boat reached the Lapwing the captain declined the help of the boat, but asked the Coxswain to procure a tug to tow him into safety. The Life-boat returned and a tug was sent for. She then went back to the vessel and remained with her until 7.30 A.M., when she was towed in by the tug, which had gone out in response to the' message sent by the Life-boatmen..
