Dunmore East, Co. Waterford.—At 12.45 in the afternoon of the 7th of April, 1949, information was telephoned from Duncannon that a local fishing boat was in distress off Broom Hill, and the life-boat Annie Blanche Smith was launched at 1.10 in a north-north-west gale, with a rough sea. The honorary secretary of the station, Mr. A. West- cott-Pitt, went in the life-boat. She found the fishing boat three miles east of Dunmore East, with her crew of three exhausted, towed her to Duncannon, and reached Dunmore East again at 3.10.—Rewards, £4 18s..
