A Motor Boat

Dunmore East, Co. Waterford. — At 7.0 on the evening of the 30th of July, 1952, a man walked into the Dunmore life-boat station. He was a member of the crew of a small motor boat which had sprung a leak and sunk off Creadon Head. After helping his companions to reach some rocks, he had got ashore at Walls Cove and had then been driven to Dunmore. At 7.10 the life-boat Agnes Cross, on temporary duty at the station, was launched, with the honorary secretary, Mr. A. Westcott-Pitt, on board, and took her boarding boat with her. She found the two men a quarter of a mile south-west of Creadon Head, rescued them, took their submerged boat in tow, and reached her station again at 8.50. One of the men rescued made a donation to the funds of the Institu- tion.—Rewards, £3..
