A Motor Boat

Donaghadee, Co. Down. — At 12.10, on the afternoon of the 17th of September, 1950, the Bangor coastguard reported that a motor boat was adrift in Donaghadee Sound. Twenty min- utes later the life-boat Sir Samuel Kelly was launched, in a very rough sea and westerly gale. She found the boat four miles east of Donaghadee with no one aboard, so took her in tow and returned to her station, arriving at three o'clock.—Rewards, £6 135..
