FISHING BOAT TAKEN IN TOW Galway Bay.—At 1.30 in the afternoon of the 20th of December, 1947, in a strong north-westerly breeze, with a rough sea, the motor life-boat K.E.C.F.

was returning from Baltimore to Valentia after overhaul when she came up with the motor fishing boat Adven- turer, of Berehaven, flying a distress signal, about two miles south of Dursey Island. Her engine had broken down and she was drifting towards the shore.

She had six men aboard. The life-boat towed her to Dursey Sound and after seeing her moored there about 3 o'clock, resumed her journey.—Rewards, £4..
