Catherine

KUmore, Co., Wexford —At 6.25 in the evening, on the 27th of May, 1950, the motor fishing boat Catherine, of Dunmore East, with a crew of two was seen flying distress signals three miles east-south-east of the piers. At 6.42 the life-boat Ann Isabella Pyemont was launched. The sea was rough, with a strong westerly breeze blowing.

She found the Catherine at anchor with her engine broken down, having dragged her anchors a mile. Two life- boatmen boarded her to help weigh them, and the life-boat then towed her to Kilmore. She reached her station again at 8.5.—Rewards. £11 5s..
