Valentia, Co. Kerry.—At 11.30 in the morning of the 4th of January, 1952, the Kerry County Council asked if the life-boat would take food and medical supplies to the Great Blasket Island as no other boat had been able to call there for a month, and at 12.15 that afternoon the life-boat A.E.D. left her moorings. She had on board the honorary secretary, Mr. K. O'Driscoll, and his wife, Dr. O'Driscoll, besides the stores. A north-westerly gale was blowing with a very rough sea running.

The life-boat landed the stores and reached her station again at 7.30 that night. No expense to the Institution.
