Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—Very early on the morning of the 30th January, 1938, the watchman at Curracloe reported rockets between the Lucifer and Blackwater Light-vessels. A storm was blowing from the N.W. by W., and a heavy sea was running. The motor life-boat K.E.C.F. put out at 1.30 A.M., but although she searched for some hours, she was unable to find any trace of a vessel in distress. She spoke to the Lucifer Light-vessel, which reported that no signals had been seen, and returned to her station at 9.30 A.M. A special money award was granted to each member of the permanent paid crew, and an increase in the usual money award on the standard scale was granted to the volunteer member of the crew.—Standard rewards to the volunteer, £2 16s. 6d.; additional rewards to crew £4.; total rewards, £7 10s..
