Two Rowing Boats

EXHAUSTED ROWERS Wicklow.—At 6.35 in the evening of the 10th of August, 1947, a telephone message was received from the light- keeper at Wicklow Head that two rowing boats were in difficulties south of Wicklow Head in a very strong ebb tide.

The motor life-boat Lady Kylsant was launched at 6.50 in a south-easterly breeze and a calm sea. She came up with the two boats half a mile south of the head. Their crews were exhausted.

She took them on board and, with the boats in tow, reached her station again at 7.55 that evening.—-Rewards, £8. 7s..
