Howth, Co. Dublin.—At 5.40 on the afternoon of the 27th of February, 1955, a flare was seen off Ireland's Eye. At six o'clock the life-boat R.P.L. was launched. The sea was choppy, a fresh southerly breeze was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the fishing boat Paragon, of Howth, with a crew of two, broken down two miles east of Ireland's Eye. She towed her .to harbour, arriving back at her station at 7.45.—Rewards, £5 8s..
