Poolbeg, Co. Dublin.—At ten o'clock on the night of the 28th of August, 1954, the Dublin Port and Docks Board telephoned to say the Poolbeg light- house-keeper had reported that two men in a small yacht near North Bull lighthouse were shouting for help. At 10.35 the life-boat Helen Blake was launched in a flood tide. The sea was rough, and a strong breeze was blow- ing from west-south-west. With the help of her Aldis lamp the life-boat found that the men had climbed the iron ladder outside the North Bull lighthouse, after making their yacht Libera fast to the ladder. The life- boat rescued them with difficulty, took the Libera in tow, and reached her station again at 12.12 early on the 29th.—Rewards, £6 10s..
