A Small Boat

MAROONED ON THE ROCKS Donaghadee, Co. Down.—At 1.43 in the afternoon of April the 22nd, 1947, the Ballycastle coastguard reported that a man, who had been missing in a small boat since the 20th had been reported on the Maidens Rocks, off Larne. The motor life-boat Civil Service, No. 5 was launched at 1.55, and in a north-westerly breeze and very rough sea made for Larne. There she embarked a pilot, and with his help the life-boat was safely navigated through Maidens Rocks. She took off the missing man and landed him and the pilot at Larne. She reached her station again at 8.15 that evening.— Rewards, £13 16*..
