Valentia, Co. Kerry.—At 9.30 on the morning of the 17th of June, 1955, a message was received from Cahirciveen asking if the life-boat would search for the fishing boat Scadan, of Tralee, which had not returned from fishing.

At ten o'clock the life-boat A.E.D. put to sea. The sea was calm, there was a light north-easterly breeze, and it was low water. The life-boat made a search and found the Scadan, which had a crew of four, six miles west of Bray Head. Her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her to Valentia, arriving at two o'clock.—• Rewards to the crew, £8 Is.; reward to the helper on shore, 13*..
