Wicklow.—At 3.50 on the afternoon of the 23rd of July, 1954, a man at Brittas Bay telephoned that the yacht Monk, which had been stolen from Dun Laoghaire, was in Brittas Bay.

No one was aboard, and as no other boat was available to take her in tow, the life-boat Lady Kylsant was launch- ed at 7.15. The sea was choppy, a fresh south-south-west breeze was blowing and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the yacht in shallow water, dangerously near the rocks, and towed her to Wicklow, arriving at 6.30.—No expense to the Institution..
