St. Joseph (1)
Clogher Head, Co. Louth.—At 2.30 in the afternoon, on the 16th of April, 1950, the harbourmaster reported that the motor yacht St. Joseph, of Dro- gheda, with a crew of two, had broken down about two miles north of Port Oriel and was drifting seawards. At 2.45, the life-boat Mary Ann Blunt was launched in a rough sea with a moderate south-westerly gale blowing. She found the yacht two miles north-east of Port Oriel. Two life-boatmen boarded her and the life-boat then towed her to Port Oriel, reaching her station again at 4.20.—Rewards, £10 3s..
