The Coningbeg Lightvessel

Kilmore, Co. Wexford.—About nine o'clock on the morning of the 6th of October, 1950, the Irish Lights Com- missioners asked that the life-boat should go to the Coningbeg Lightvessel to land a man whose wife was danger- ously ill. At 9.50 the life-boat Ann Isabella Pymont was launched in a rough sea and strong south-south-westerly breeze. She reached the lightvessel in an hour and a half and within ten min- utes was on her way home. She arrived at her station at 12.55 in the afternoon.—Rewards, £17 17*., repaid by the Commissioners of the Irish Lights..
