Portrush, Co. Antrim.—At 5.50 on the evening of the 6th of August, 1953, the coastguard reported that a bather was in difficulties off the White Rocks, and that a fishing boat had put to sea. A later message stated that there were two bathers in difficulties. The life- boat Lady Scott, Civil Service No. 4, was launched at 6.3 in a calm sea and fine weather. The dead body of one of the bathers was found. It was close inshore, and the life-boat fired a line across and a life-boatman went ashore by breeches-buoy. He brought the body back to the life-boat, which then returned to her station, arriving at 7.50.—Rewards, £7 4s..
