Dunmore East, Co. Waterford.—At 8.30 on the evening of the 12th of August, 1950, some visitors said that a canvas canoe seemed to be in diffi- culties two miles south-east of Dunmore.

A man and a boy of twelve were in the canoe, and there was a strong ebb tide and choppy sea. As night was ap- proaching it was decided to launch the life-boat. Fifteen minutes later the Annie Blanche Smith put out in a south- westerly breeze, took the two people and their canoe aboard, and returned to her station, arriving at half past nine.—Rewards, £3 15s..
