Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—On the 23rd of January, 1953, the Irish Lights Commissioners asked if the life- boat would land a man from the Black- water Lightvessel. His sister had died in Wexford, and the Commissioners' own boat was under repair. At 1.55 in the afternoon the life-boat Douglas Hyde left her moorings. She brought the man ashore in a smooth sea, with a light southerly breeze blowing, and reached her station again at 6.10. The next day the Commissioners again asked for the life-boat to land another man, a relative of whom had also died in Wexford. At 8.15 the life-boat put out a second time, in a moderate north- westerly breeze with a slight swell, took a relief man to the lightvessel, and landed the man whose relative had died at 12.15 early on the morn- ing of the 25th.—Rewards: 1st service, £12 8s.; 2nd service, £10 13s. Re- funded to the Institution by the Commissioners of Irish Lights..
