Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—At 4.45 P.M. on the 1st June, 1938, a small vessel was seen to be in a dangerous position S. by E. of the Splaugh Rock.

A moderate but increasing N.E. gale was blowing, with heavy rain and a confused sea. The motor life-boat K.E.C.F. put out at 5.10 P.M. and found the motor yacht Embla, of Cork, with a party of four on board. She was in difficulties with her engine, and as she was being carried to leeward and was in danger of going on an old wreck, the life-boat took her in tow and brought her to Rosslare Harbour.

Both boats shipped heavy seas, but eventually the Embla was safely moored at about 7 P.M. Mr. W. J. B. Moncas, branch secretary, went out in the lifeboat.
