Poolbeg, Co. Dublin.—At about 5 P.M.

on the 13th January, 1938, two men put off in a small boat to go to the trawler Prevail, of Dublin, which was lying in the River Liffey. A moderate S.W. gale was blowing, with a moderate sea, and they wanted to let go her second anchor. On the return journey the boat was driven against a mooringbuoy and one of the oars was broken.

She drifted down towards the Bull Rocks, but fortunately was seen by a man on shore, and the Poolbeg pulling and sailing life-boat John Watson Wakefield was launched at 5.45 P.M. The two men were rescued and their boat was towed back to Pigeon House Dock.

The life-boat returned to her station at 7.30 P.M.—Rewards, £26..
