Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—At 9.55 P.M. on the llth February, 1939, a telephone message was received that the Goningbeg Light-vessel had signalled a passing steamer that she wanted the life-boat to take ashore a man who was dangerously ill. A S.W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea. At. 10.20 P.M." the motor life-boat K.E.C.F. put out. She reached the light-vessel at 2.45 A.M. In the rough sea it was impossible for the life-boat to go alongside, so the sick man, with one of thelight-vessel's crew, was lowered in one of the light-vessel's boats, and the two men were then taken aboard the lifeboat.

She landed them at Rosslare Harbour at 7.40 A.M., and the sick man was taken to Wexford by car.—Expenses defrayed by the Irish Lights Commissioners..
