Valentla, Co. Kerry. — During bad weather in December, 1951, the Valentia Radio Station was damaged and the Department of Posts and Telegraphs decided to establish an emergency station at Cork. On the 30th it asked the life-boat station if it would bring off three wireless operators from the Valentia Station as the weather was too bad for ferry boats to put out, and at 4.45 in the afternoon the life-boat A.E.D. left her moorings.

She brought the operators and their equipment to the mainland and reached her station again at 6.0 that night.— Rewards, £6 8s..
