Points Castle, of Swansea

Courtmacsherry Harbour, Co. Cork.—- At 12.45 P.M. on the 21st June a message was received that a vessel was on the rocks on the east side of the Old Head of Kinsale. The sea was smooth but there was a very thick fog. The motor life-boat Sarah Ward and David William Crosweller was launched at 12.55 P.M., and found the steam trawler Points Castle, of Swansea, fast on the rocks.

The life-boat stood by until she refloated and it was found that she was not leaking. She returned to her station at 5 P.M.—Rewards, £4 105. Qd..
