Helvick Head, Co. Waterford. — Shortly after seven in the morning of the 28th of July, 1949, the motor trawler Baile na n Gall was seen drifting- off Helvick Head near a rocky shore, and flying distress signals. She was known to be without sails and to have no experienced mechanic on board.

The life-boat H. F. Bailey was launched at half past seven in a calm sea with a, light, moderate wind, and found that the trawler's engine had broken down.

The life-boat took her in tow and brought her in at 8.15.—-Rewards,.
