Roulare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—At 10.59 on the night of the 21st of Septem- ber, 1949, the life-boat coxswain saw a vessel in the Bay firing red flares and rockets. At 11.12 the life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson left her moorings in a very rough sea, with a north-easterly gale blowing. She found the ninety- years-old motor schooner Susan Vittery, of Cork (bound with coal for Youghal, with a crew of four), anchored a quarter of a mite north-west of Rosslare pier lighthouse. She was rolling badly, making very heavy weather, and leak- ing. Her skipper asked the life-boat to land him and his crew. The Mabel Marion Thompson therefore went along- side, and took them off, but was damaged slightly in the process. She returned to her station at 12.15 the next morning.—Rewards, £3 7s..
