Court macsherry, Co. Cork.—24th September, 1939. A message had been received that a steamer was in distress, as a result of enemy action, about fifteen miles south of Fastnet Lighthouse. She was the steamer Hazleside, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, bound from British Columbia to Garston with a crew of thirty-four. As the Baltimore motor life-boat was off service the Courtmacsherry motor life-boat put out.

She found nothing and put into Baltimore.

There she learned that a shoreboat had two boats in tow. She put out again, with a local pilot on board, to help them, but by this time they had reached the Schull. After returning to Baltimore for food and rest the life-boat made for her station, arriving at 12.30 on 25th September. She had then been out for over twenty hours.- Rewards, £20 10s..
