Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—At 3.35 in the afternoon on the 4th of November, 1949, a fishing vessel at the north end of the bay was seen to be flying a distress signal. The life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson was launched at 3.42 in a rough sea, with a south- westerly gale blowing, and, three miles north of Rosslare Pier found the motor fishing boat St. Joseph, of Dunmore East, with a crew of two and h'er engine broken down. As she was dragging towards Wexford Bar the life-boat took her in tow and berthed her along the pier at 4.35.—Partly paid permanent crew.-—Rewards, £5 2s..
