Clogher Head, Co. Louth.—At 5 o'clock in the evening of the 4th of February, 1949, information Was received that the motor trawler Radiant Morn, of Port Oriel, which had a crew of four, was making distress signals and burn- ing flares, off the Dunany Reef, five miles north-east cf Port Oriel. A south- easterly gale was blowing, with a heavy swell. The life-boat Mary Ann Blunt was launched at 5.15 and found the trawler with her engines broken down.

She had anchored but was dragging towards the reef. The life-boat towed her to Port Oriel and remained there overnight reaching her station again at 10 o'clock the next morning. The crew of the trawler expressed their thanks.—Rewards, £18 11s..
