Valentia, Co. Kerry.—At 8.40 on the evening of the 2nd of November, 1954, the coxswain noticed distress rockets at the entrance to the harbour. At nine o'clock the life-boat A.E.D. put out in an ebbing tide. The sea was rough and a fresh breeze was blowing from the north-west. The life-boat found the trawler Castrelios, of Vigo, Spain, with a crew of fourteen, aground in a dangerous position. With the help of another Spanish trawler she refloated her. The trawler was not damaged, and the life-boat escorted her into the harbour, reaching her station again at 11.30. The skipper of the Castrelios expressed his thanks.
