Dunmore East, Co. Waterford. —• At 6.30 on the morning of the 28th of October, 1950, the life-boat Annie BlancheSmithhad just left her moorings with five of the life-boat crew aboard (she was going on to a slipway for cleaning), when a small boat entered harbour and told them that red distress flares had been seen two and a half miles south- we&t of the harbour. So the life-boat put out. There was a smooth sea, with a fresh north-west breeze. She found the local fishing boat Catherine with a crew of four, disabled by -an engine breakdown, and towed her into harbour, arriving at 7.25.—Rewards, £4..
