Menapia

Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—At five in the evening of the 20th of November, 1948, a signal was received from the motor vessel Menapia, of Wexford, that a doctor was urgently needed, and the motor life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson left her moorings at 5.45, with a doctor aboard. A mod- erate south-westerly breeze was blowing with a choppy sea. The life-boat met the Menapia in South Bay, put the doctor on board her, and forty minutes later took him off again and the sick man. She arrived back at Rosslare Harbour at seven o'clock, and the sick man was taken to hospital.—Perman- ent Paid Crew. Rewards, £l 11s..
