The Sailing Boat Delphus
Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.—At 11.43 on the morning of the 28th of June, 1950, the harbour master called the mechanic ashore from the life- boat Dun- leary II, and told him that a sailing boat had capsized. Seven minutes later the life-boat put out in a light southerly wind with a smooth sea.
She found the sailing boat Delphus, of Dun Laoghaire, capsized one mile east of the East Pier, with three people clinging to the bottom. The life-boat picked them up and landed them and then returned to the Delphus. She found her in tow of a motor boat, and therefore returned to her moorings, arriving at 12.20 in the afternoon.— Rewards, £6 10*..
