At 2 P.M. on 5th May the Coxswain received a telephone message from Wexford to the effect that a small steamer was on Wexford Bar in a very dangerous position, and the Motor Life-boat K.E.C.F. was at once launched to her help. A whole E.N.E. gale was blowing with a rough sea. The steamer was the Elsie Annie, of Wexford, bound to that port from Newport with a cargo of coal, and carrying a crew of ten.

The Life-boat stood by her for three and a half hours until she refloated, arriving back at her Station at 7.40 P.M.—Permanent Crew, Eewards, £1 3s. 6d..
