The local motor fishing boat Sirius, with two men aboard, which the life-boat had saved from destruction a few days earlier, got into difficulties again on the 2nd March. She was fishing about two miles north-east of Dunmore when her propeller was fouled by the nets, and she began to drift. A strong S.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea, and it was raining. The motor life-boat C. and S, was launched at 2.50 P.M., and found her very close to the rocks.

One of her crew had fallen overboard and nearly been drowned. The life- boat towed the fishing boat into harbour and arrived back at her station at 4.10 P.M.—Rewards, £4 3s..
