Fishing Boats (1)

Arranmore, Co. Donegal. •— On the 15th January the fishing fleet from Arranmore, Burtonport, and the surrounding islands, put off to fish in Boylagh Bay. The boats did not return when expected, and, as a dense fog set in, the motor life-boat K.T.J.S.

put out at 10.45 P.M. to search for them.

A moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, but the sea was calm. The life-boat found all the boats and escorted them into safety, although the last one was not escorted in until daylight on the 16th. The life-boat returned to her station at 9.30 A.M., having been on service for nearly eleven hours.— Rewards, £23 13s..
