Fenit, Co. Kerry.—At 5.30 on the afternoon of the 1-lth of September, 1955, the honorary secretary noticed that the fishing boat Daisy Picker, of Tralee, was towing a raft towards Upper Tralee Bay. The tide was ebbing strongly, and half-way across the bay the boat struck a sandbank and sprung a plank. Her crew of five waved for help, and at 8.30 the life- boat Peter and Sarah Blake put out.

The sea was rough, and there was a strong breeze blowing from the north- west. The life-boat rescued the men, towed the boat to Fenit and beached her, arriving back at her station at midnight.—Property Salvage Case.— Rewards, 12s..
