Portrush, Co. Antrim.—At 4.21 A.M.

on the 9th November, 1938, the coastguard telephoned the life-boat honorary secretary that a fishing boat was signalling for help off Ramore Head. A S.W. wind was blowing, with a moderate, but increasing sea. The tide was setting westward, and there was a danger of the boat, with her crew of two, being carried seawards. The motor life-boat T.B.B.H. was launched at 4.45 A.M. with the honorary secretary, Mr. W. R. Knox, M.M., J.P., on board.

She found the boat, with her rowlocks broken, and brought her into Portrush Harbour at 5.15 A.M.—Rewards, £14 9s. 6d..
