FLOATS MISTAKEN FOR MEN Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wezford.—At 9.40 in the morning of the 21st of October, 1947, information was received that what appeared to be a partly sub- merged boat with three men clinging to it had been seen in Ballytrent Bay.
The motor life-boat Agnes Cross, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 9.58. A fresh southerly breeze was blowing and the sea was rough. The life-boat searched but all she found was a trawler's dan buoy with three floats. She arrived back at her station at 11 o'clock that morn- ing.—Rewards, £2 11s..
