Arklow, Co. Wicklow. — At 6.50 on the night of the 19th of November, 1951, the motor mechanic reported flares north of the harbour and at seven o'clock the life-boat Inbhear Mor was launched with the second cox- swain in charge. The sea was moder- ate with a fresh south-westerly breeze blowing. The life-boat found the local fishing boat Edith, with a crew of four, one and a half miles north of Arklow Pier. She was anchored, with her propeller fouled. The life-boat towed her to the harbour and reached her station again at 7.35.—Rewards, £9 2s. 6d..
