The Sailing Boat Fiddlesticks

Howth, Co. Dublin—At 12.45 in the afternoon of the 15th of August, 1948, a yacht reported that a small boat was drifting off Ireland's Eye, and at 1.4 the motor life-boat R.P.L. was launched in a fresh westerly breeze with a moder- ate sea. She found the sailing boat Fiddlesticks, of Skerries, three miles north-east of Ireland's Eye. She had no one on board and the life-boat towed her to the harbour, arriving back at her station at 2.15.—Rewards, £6 Is..
