On the 22nd March a small boat left the main- land for Ramsey Island with two men, a pig and a lamb on board. The boat got into difficulties when about half- way across Ramsey Sound, and, drift- ing with the tide, began to bump along the rocks. The coxswain saw her, and the motor life-boat General Farrell was launched at 11.20 A.M. A mod- erate breeze was blowing with a mod- erate sea. The life-boat reached the boat within a few minutes. She found that one man was exhausted, and the other, his son, could not pull the boat away from the rocks alone. The two men and the animals were rescued, and the boat was towed into safety. She was leaking and the only means of baling was a small tin. The life-boat returned to her station at 11.50 A.M.— Rewards, £1 18s..
