While sheltering in Ballycotton Bay on the morning of 26th March, the steam trawler Macaw, of Milford Haven, was driven ashore on the Black Rocks by a strong S.W. breeze with a rough sea and a heavy ground swell. Information that she was in difficulties was received at 3.30 A.M., and she was kept under observation for a time by the Honorary Secretary of the Station and the Cox- swain, while she was attempting to get off under her own power. As she was not successful, the Motor Life-boat Mary Stanford was launched at 4.15 A.M.

She found that another trawler was standing by, and that the Macaw had launched her own boat. The Life-boat stood by until high water at 8.30 A.M., when the weather moderated somewhat.

Some of the trawler's crew of nine came ashore in their own boat. The trawler did not refloat on the rising tide, and those of her crew who had landed returned to her.—Rewards, £17 Os. 3d..
