Wicklow.—At 12.30 on the afternoon of the 18th of July, 1953, the life-boat Lady Kylsant was launched in a choppy sea, with a moderate north- westerly breeze blowing. She was due to attend a life-boat flag day at Grey- stones, but six miles north-east of Wicklow she saw a dismasted yacht.

This was the Pandora, with a crew of four. The life-boat rescued all those on board and towed the yacht to Greystones, which she reached at 2.10.

She remained there until seven in the evening, when she left for Wicklow.

On the return journey, when she was four miles south of Greystones, she saw two men and a woman sitting on an upturned yacht, the Sanderling.

She rescued all three and towed the Sanderling to Wicklow, arriving at 8.30.—Rewards, £11 18s..
