Courtmacsherry Harbour, Co. Cork.— At 4.30 on the afternoon of the 28th of March, 1953, a woman rang up from Harbour View to say that a rowing boat with a crew of three was on the rocks near Harbour View to the east side of Courtmacsherry Harbour. At 4.40 the life-boat Sarah Ward and William David Crosmeller was launched, taking her boarding boat with her.

There was a moderate north-westerly breeze, a moderate sea and a thick fog. The life-boat found that the men in the rowing boat were three sailors from the motor vessel Deni, of Rotter- dam, who had lost themselves while rowing. The life-boat towed them back to their ship, and then returned to her station, arriving at 5.50.— Rewards, £6 16s..
