The Arklow Lightvessel

Arklow, Co. Wicklow.—At 6.25 on the evening of the 25th of January, 1955, the Commissioners of Irish Lights tele- phoned that a relative of a member of the crew of the Arklow lightvessel was seriously ill, and asked if the life-boat would land the man. At 6.56 the life-boat Inbhear Mor embarked a relief man, and made for the light- vessel in a rough sea with a fresh southerly breeze blowing. She put the relief aboard the lightvessel, took the other man ashore, and reached her station again at 10.35.—Rewards, £13 3*..
