Courtmacsherry, Co. Cork.—On the night of the 14th of April, 1948, the Civic Guard telephoned that a boat was in distress in the bay, and at 11 o'clock the motor life-boat Sarah Ward and William David Crosvueller was launched.

She found a motor launch with four men and a woman on board, at Garrets- town Strand. Her engine had broken down. A northerly breeze was blowing, and the sea was calm, but she was in a dangerous position. A life-boatman went aboard her and the life-boat towed her in, arriving back at her sta- tion at 1.45 the next morning.— Rewards, £8 9*..
