Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—At 1.20 P.M. on the 10th October, 1938, a telephone message was received from the inspector of the Coast Life-Saving Service at Dublin that the Lucifer Light-vessel was flying distress signals.

A moderate to fresh westerly breeze was blowing, with a heavy swell. The reserve motor life-boat J. B. Proudfaot, which was on temporary duty at Rosslare, put out at 1.40 P.M., and found that the master of the light-vessel wanted a sick man landed. The life-boat took him ashore and returned to her station at 6.50 P.M.—Expenses paid by the Irish Lights Commissioners..
