Kllmore, Co. Wexford.—On the morn- ing of the 10th of February, 1956, a man reported that the trawler Marylis, of Lorient, had run on the rocks in Ballyhealy Bay and that her crew of nine needed help. At 10.35 the life- boat Ann Isabella Pyemont was launched. There was a swell and a light north-easterly breeze, and it waslow water. It was very cold, and there were snow showers. The life-boat found the trawler half a mile east of the White Hole and stood by her until after high water. The skipper asked if the life-boat would stand by his ship again on the next high water.

The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 6.15, and at 5.10 on the morning of the llth put to sea again.

She found that even if the weather became worse and the trawlermen had to come ashore they would be able to do so without help. After standing by for about an hour and a half, she therefore returned to her station, arriving at 7.40.—Rewards to the crew, £29 15s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £20 2s..
