Herring Boats

Wicklow.—At 3.30 in the afternoon of the 10th of January, 1949, the local herring boats went to sea, but were overtaken by bad weather, and an hour later put back. One was missing, and at 5.5 the life-boat Lady Kylsant was launched. A north-easterly gale was then blowing, with a heavy sea. With the help of her searchlight she found the fishing boat two miles to the north- ward, escorted her to the harbour and reached her station again at 6.45.— Rewards, £15 5s. 6d..
