Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—The motor life-boat K.E.C.F. put out at 11.30 A.M. on the 29th February, as the watchman had reported that the steamer Wexfordian was ashore on Wexford Bar. Mr. W. J. B.

Moncas, the branch secretary, was on board the life-boat. A strong N.N.E.

gale was blowing, with a heavy sea, and the weather was very cold, with sleet.

The Wexfordian, bound from Glasgow to Wexford with a cargo of coal, and a crew of twelve, had gone stern first on to Dogger Bank, and was lying broadside on to the sea. She was not in immediate danger. At the request,of her master, the life-boat put into Wexford to get her some provisions.

The life-boat then went to a steamer which had anchored in a very dangerous position, and told her how to get to a safe anchorage. She then went to another steamer which had gone ashore and found her high and dry.

She returned to the Wexfordian and stood by her for some hours. Eventually the steamer's master signalled that he was not going to leave his ship for the time being, and the life-boat made for home. She arrived at 11.30 A.M., having been away from her station for fourteen hours. This was an arduous service, and special money rewards were granted to the permanent paid crew, and a letter of thanks was sent to Mr. Moncas. A letter of thanks and a donation of £20 was received from the owner in appreciation of this service, and two other services by Rosslare Harbour are to the same steamer, Wexfordian, eight days later, and the other to his steamer Elsie Annie on 5th February. Accounts of these two services will be published in the next issue..
