Valentla, Co. Kerry.—About 10.45 in the morning of the 2nd of May, 1952, the trawler Amazone, of Camaret, with a crew of nine, left the harbour, but broke down and was in danger of being blown on the rocks at the harbour entrance. The sea was calm, but a fresh northerly breeze was blowing.

At eleven o'clock the life-boat A.E.D.

left her moorings. She stood by the trawler until her engines were repaired and she was able to return to the harbour. The life-boat then returned to her own station, arriving at 12.15 that afternoon.—Rewards, £5 13s..
