Valentia, Co. Kerry.—At 6.10 on the morning of the 28th of February, 1954, the Valentia radio station reported that the trawler River Spey, of Milford Haven, which had a crew of twelve, was leaking badly and needed help fifteen miles south-west of Tearaght Light. At 6.40 the life-boat A.E.D.

put out in a rough sea and in a fresh north-easterly gale. She found the trawler at 8.45 and escorted her to the harbour. The coxswain then boarded her to pilot her to the beach. The life-boat helped to beach her, rescued her crew, and returned to her station, arriving at 2.30. The skipper ex- pressed his thanks.—Rewards, £16 12s..
