The Sailing Boat Kandee

Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.— At 11.5 on the morning of the 15th of July, 1954, the Coast Life-Saving Service reported that a wireless message had been received from the mail steamer Hibernia that a sailing boat had cap- sized off the Kish lightvessel. At 11.30 the life-boat Dunleary II put to sea. The sea was choppy, a strong north-westerly breeze was blowing, and the tide was high. She found the half-decked sailing boat Kandee lying on her side three miles south-south- west of the lightvessel, but saw no sign of her crew. The life-boat righted her and towed her to Dun Laoghaire. arriving at 2.30.—Rewards, £8 10s. 6d..
