At 1.30 A.M. on the 26th January the life-boat watchman reported a vessel ashore near the harbour. A whole N.W. by N. gale was blowing with a very heavy sea. The motor life-boat K.E.C.F., with Mr. Moncas, the branch secretary, on board, put out at 2.20 A.M., and found the steam trawler Mill o' Buckie, of Ramsgate, ashore about half a mile S.W. by W. from Rosslare pier. She carried a crew of eight, and was on a fishing trip. She was ashore in shallow and broken water. Three life-boatmen got into a small boat, which the life-boat had taken in tow, and at great risk were veered down to the wreck. Shortly afterwards they signalled to be hauled back, and reported that the trawler's crew did not wish to leave. The life- boat then stood by. At 10 A.M. the trawler signalled on her whistle and the life-boat ran in to her. Her captain asked for a tug. The life-boat took the message ashore and returned to her station at 12.15 P.M. She had been on service for ten hours. The Com- mittee granted special monetary re- wards of £1 per man to the life-boat crew (which is a permanent paid crew) and presented framed letters of thanks to James Wickham, coxswain, T. P.

Wickham, motor mechanic, Martin O'Rourke, second coxswain, J. T.

Wickham, assistant motor mechanic, and Raymond Wickham, the last three being the men who manned the small boat. A letter of thanks was also sent to Mr. W. J. B. Moncas, branch secretary.—Permanent Crew ; Rewards, £11 10s. I.
