On the 28th February the local motor fishing boat Sirius, with two men on board, was seen to be in distress to the north-east of Dunmore. Her engine had broken down and she was drifting on to the rocks before a strong S.E.

wind. The sea was moderate. The motor life-boat C. and S. was launched at 11.45 A.M. and came up with the Sirius when she was within one hundred yards of the rocks. She took her in tow and brought her safely back to harbour, which was reached at 12.45 P.M. Had the life-boat not gone to the rescue so promptly the fishing boat would un- doubtedly have been lost on the rocks.
