Two Sisters

Donaghadee, Co. Down.—About 9.15 on the night of Sunday the 5th of August, 1951, they heard that the motor boat Two Sisters, with six people on board, had not arrived.

She had left the Copeland Islands for Donaghadee at 7.0. At 9.35 the life- boat Sir Samuel Kelly left her moor- ings in a thick fog but calm sea, and went south. She found the missing boat two miles off Millisle, disabled by an engine breakdown, and took some of the people on board, giving them hot soup. With the boat in tow she arrived at Donaghadee at 10.35.—Rewards, £5 5s..
