FISHING BOAT ADRIFT Dunmore East, Co. Waterford.-—During the afternoon of the 17th of September, 1947, the pilot on watch reported that the local motor fishing boat St. Joseph was being carried out to sea by the easterly wind and ebbing tide. The motor life-boat Annie Blanche Smith was launched at 4.40 in a calm sea.

She found the fishing boat six miles south-east of Dunmore East with her tail-shaft broken and her small sail useless for sailing to windward. The life-boat towed her back to Dunmore East, arriving at 6.30 that evening.— Rewards, £5 5s..
