On the 14th September the Life-boat Dunleary was launched at 2.23 P.M. during a very strong S.S.W. gale to the assistance of two trawlers which were in difficulties in Dublin Bay. One vessel was named the Industry and the other the MizpaJt.

When the Life-boat reached the former it was found that she had had her bow- sprit carried away and had lost her sails. She was then at anchor, and the men refused to leave her. The Life- boat therefore proceeded to the Mizpdh, but the crew of this vessel also declined to be taken ashore. A passenger on board, however, desired to be landed, and the Life-boat conveyed him ashore.

A telephone message was then sent to Dublin for a tug to proceed to the assist- ance of the two vessels, and later in the evening they were both towed into safety..
