Galway Bay, Galway.—At 6 P.M. on the 1st August, 1939, a message was received from Inishere that a Connemara boatman had reported that he had passed an upturned curragh half a mile north of Sandhead. A moderate S.W. breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat K.E.C.F. was launched at 6.30 P.M.

She found the curragh, took it in tow, and made a wide search for the three men believed to have been on board, but could not find them. She returned to her station at 8 P.M.—Rewards, £5 14*..
