On the 27th July a small sailing boat, with two men and a boy on board, got into difficulties about three-quarters of a mile off the Muglins, at the entrance to the bay. The boat had put out from Bray for Kingstown, but had been blown out to sea by the strong, squally north-west breeze. The sea was rough.

The motor life-boat Dunleary put out at 3.35 P.M. She found that the men had rigged up a small sail and were trying to get back to Bray, but all the time were being blown to sea.

They were rescued, and their boat was towed back to Kingstown. The life-boat returned to her station at 4.35 P.M.—Rewards, £3 Os. 6d..
