The Coningbeg Lightvessel

Kilmore, Co. Wexford.—At 2.5 in the afternoon on the 19th of March, 1950, a message was relayed by the Valentia radio station from the Coningbeg Light- vessel. She asked for the life-boat as a man on board the lightvessel was sick, suffering from a perforated duodenal ulcer. Accordingly the life-boat Ann Isabella Pyemont was launched at 2.15, in a ground swell with a light south- westerly breeze. She took the sick man ashore to a waiting ambulance, and reached her station again at 5.5.
