Donaghadee, Co. Down. — On the afternoon of the 15th September the motor life-boat Civil Service No. 5 was returning to harbour after her quarterly exercise when a small rowing boat was seen near Foreland Point. Owing to cross currents this is a dangerous place, and as the tide and current were very strong, and the sea was very rough, the boat and the people in her would probably have been lost had not help been at hand. The life-boat quickly ran alongside and took off the man and two women who were on board. They were visitors to Donaghadee and did not know the danger they had been in.

With the small boat in tow the lifeboat put back to her station, arriving at 4.45 P.M.—Rewards, £4 10s..
