Vixen, of Dublin

Kingstown, Co. Dublin.—On the morning of the 2nd June a Coast Life- Saving Service Inspector telephoned that a yacht was in danger off Greystones harbour. She was the Vixen, of Dublin, bound, with her owner on board, for Wicklow. The wind was strong breeze to gale force from the north-east. The sea was rough, and the weather was thick, with rain. The motor life-boat Dunleary (Civil Service No. 7) was launched at 11 A.M. and found the Vixen bumping dangerously in the heavy swell. She towed her back to Kingstown, and returned to her station at 3.30 P.M.—Rewards, £6 5s. 6d..
