Valentia, Co. Kerry.^At two o'clock on the afternoon of the 8th of May, 1954, the steam trawler Brecon Castle, of Swansea, arrived at Valentia with a sick man. A doctor examined him and decided to have him taken ashore, but the weather was too bad for the ferry boat to land him. The doctor asked for the life-boat, and at three o'clock the A.E.D. put to sea with a nurse and a stretcher in a rough sea with a strong south-easterly wind blowing. The life-boat took the patient on board, landed him at Valentia, and reached her station again at 4.30.—Rewards, £3 11*..
