Wicklow.—At 2.15 on the afternoon of the 1st of August, 1953, the Com- missioners of Irish Lights asked if the life-boat would take a doctor to the Codling Bank Lightvessel. The life- boat Lady Kylsant was launched at 2.31 with a doctor on board. The sea was smooth, and there was a south- south-easterly wind blowing. The doctor went on board the lightvessel, and a sick man was transferred to the life-boat, which took him to Wicklow.

The life-boat arrived back at her station at 6.30.—Rewards, £10 5s.

Refunded to the Institution by the Commissioners of Irish Lights..
