She drifted towards dangerous rocks on the N.E. side of Tralee Bay and seemed to be in danger of sinking, having lost her mast derricks and tarpaulin. With great difficulty in the very heavy sea, the life-boat's crew launched the boarding boat and got out to the motor life-boat Peter and Sarah Blake at her moorings. The life-boat then put out and escorted the steamer to safety, returning to her moorings at 6 P.M.—Rewards, £8 17s. 9d.
