Poolbeg, Co. Dublin.—At 9.10 on the evening of the 18th of July, 1954, the Dublin Port and Docks Board Bathing Master telephoned that a yacht had run ashore between No. 4 and No. 6 buoys in the River Liffey. At 9.40 the life-boat Helen Blake was launched.

The sea was choppy, a strong west- north-west breeze was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the yacht Flying Fox, with eight people on board, hard aground.

She stood by her until she refloated about eleven o'clock and arrived back at her station at 11.35.—Rewards, £6 10*..
