Arklow, Co. Wicldow.—At five o'clock on the evening of the 1st of December, 1950, distress signals were seen three miles north of Arklow Harbour. Five minutes later the life-boat Inbhear Mor was launched in a very rough sea with a south-westerly gale blowing. She found the local fishing boat Guiding Light, with a crew of four aboard, drift- ing disabled, her propeller fouled by nets and her anchor chain broken.

With great difficulty they put a tow rope on board the fishing boat, and took her to Arklow, arriving at 6.20.
