Newcastle, Co. Down.—At about 7 P.M.

on the 21st June, 1938, the coastguard reported that two fishing boats were in difficulties one mile east of Mullartown Point. They were the motor fishing boats Lizzie and William Cecil, of Annalong, both helpless owing to the breakdown of their engines. A fresh S.W. breeze was blowing, with a heavy swell. The motor life-boat L.P. and St. Helen, was launched at 7.10 P.M., and found the boats at anchor. They had no sails or sweeps. The life-boat towed them into Annalong Harbour, and returned to her station at 9.30 P.M.
