Tailte

On the afternoon of the 17th June a motorist reported that a small yacht with several persons on board was aground on the rocks south of Wicklow Head. A moderate S.S.W.

breeze was blowing, and the sea was smooth. The motor life-boat Robert Theophilus Garden was launched at 3.30 P.M., and found the motor yacht Tailte, of Kingstown, on the Wolves' Rocks, about three miles south of Wicklow. The crew had already got ashore in the yacht's punt. At the request of the owner the life-boat got the Tailte off the rocks and towed her into Wicklow, where she was beached in a sinking condition. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 6.30 P.M.
