Ballycotton, Co. Cork.—-At 1.20 P.M.

on the 30th July, 1939, a man reported to the life-boat coxswain that the motor fishing boat Point Girl, of Ballycotton, which was out with anglers, was flying a distress signal about two miles S.W. of Ballycotton Light. The motor life-boat Mary Stanford was launched at V .'<$!• V.M. Shefound the boat, with her propeller fouled by a rope, drifting to sea and shipping water. She had a crew of four. As a strong westerly breeze was blowing, with a rough sea, it was not considered safe to take the life-boat alongside, so a rope was passed to the Point Girl and the life-boat towed her into harbour, arriving at 3.10 P.M.—Rewards, £5 10*..
