On the 26th of November, 1954, the Valentia, Co. Kerry, life-boat put out in a whole north-westerly gale to go to the help of a motor trawler. The next day, with the help of a fishing boat, the life-boat succeeded in towing the trawler from the White Horse Rocks.

For a full account of this service, for which Coxswain Jeremiah O'Connell was accorded the thanks of the Insti- tution inscribed on vellum, see page 8..
