Donaghadee, Co. Down.1—At 4.20 in the morning of the 2nd of April, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that a vessel was ashore about a mile south of Lame Lough, and the life-boat Joseph Adlam, on temporary duty at the sta- tion, was launched at 4.45 in a fresh south-easterly wind with a slight sea.

She found the s.s. Clew Bay, of Belfast, a laden collier, on passage from Glas- gow to Belfast, ashore on rocks. The fife-boat stood by until she had been refloated by a tug, and then escorted her to safety. The life-boat reached her station again at half-past one in the afternoon.—Rewards, £18..
