A Lobster Fishing Boat
LOBSTER BOAT'S CREW LOST Dunmore East, Co. Watcrford.—On the morning of the 2nd of May, 1947, news was received from Brownstown Head by the civic guard that a lobster fishing boat had not been heard of since seven o'clock the previous evening, and the motor life-boat Annie Blanche Smith was launched at 10.30 in a north-east gale, with a very rough sea. She went to the position where the boat had last been seen, but found nothing. She made a wide search and called at Helvick for news, but she still found nothing, and returned to her station, arriving at 8.30 in the evening. Several days later the missing boat came ashore at Ballycotton, but there was no trace of her crew of two.—Rewards, £20 7*. 6d..
