A Small Rowing Boat

Wicklow.—Early on the afternoon of the 5th September two men, visitors, put off in a small rowing boat. When about two miles east of Wicklow pier they broke an oar and made signals of distress. A strong S.W. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. The motor life-boat Lady Kylsant was launched at 1.15 P.M., and found the rowing boat being blown out to sea.

She towed her back to Wicklow harbour, and returned to her station at 2.15 P.M.—Rewards, £5 5s. 6d..
