The Coningbeg Lightvessel

Kilmore, Co. Wexford.—At 6.50 on the night of the 1st of January, 1951, the Coast Life-Saving Service reported that the Coningbeg Lightvessel had wire- lessed that she had a sick man on board.

So at 7.3 the life-boat Ann Isabella Pyemont was launched. There was a heavy swell with a moderate north- easterly breeze blowing. She brought the patient ashore to a waiting doctor and reached her station again at 10.45.
