A Fishing Boat

Portrush, Co. Antrim.—At 7.17 on the night of the 17th of October, 1951, the coastguard telephoned that a Ballycastle fishing boat, with a crew of four, could not enter Ballycastle Harbour because of a heavy swell and was making for a port to the westward.

At 8.13 he reported that the boat was sheltering off Ken bane Head and needed help, and at 8.26 the life-boat Lady Scott, Civil Service No. 4, was launched in a light south-south-west breeze. She found the fishing boat off the Head, towed her to Portrush, and reached her station again at 2.55 the next morning. •— Rewards, £19 11s. 6d..
