Early on the morning of the 17th January several local herring boats put off to fish in the bay. Later heavy S.W.

squalls sprang up, with a rough sea and rain. It was reported that some of the boats were in danger, and the motor life-boat Dunleary was launched at 8.40 A.M. Several boats were towed into harbour, and the life-boat did not return to her station until it was certain that all the boats were in safety.
