Valentia, Co. Kerry.—At 11.13 on the morning of the 17th of April, 1951, the S.S. Fort Enterprise, of London, bound for America from Liverpool, wirelessed that she had a sick steward. She asked for him to be landed, saying that she would be off Valentia about 7.0 in the evening. At 2.0, then, that afternoon the life-boat A.E.D. left her moorings accompanied by the honorary secretary, Mr. Kieran O'Driscoll, and a doctor.

The sea was rough, with a strong south- easterly breeze blowing. She came up with the steamer eleven miles west- north-west of Bray Head, and took on board the sick man and a woman stowaway. She landed them at Valentia at 7.0 and reached her station again at 7.30.—Rewards, £11 7s..
