At 7.15 P.M. on the 9th June a mes- sage was received by telephone from the Civic Guards at Curracloe that a fishing boat was in distress in the North Bay.

The Motor Life-boat K.E.C.F. put out in a moderate S.S.W. breeze with a smooth sea. The weather was fine. She found the fishing boat Kathleen Clare, of Wexford, with a crew of three on board and her engine broken down. She took her in tow to Wexford Harbour, and then returned to her Station, arriving at 11.30 P.M.—Permanent Crew, Re- wards, £1 11s..
