A Motor Boat (1)
Helvick Head, Co. Waterford.—At 7.20 on the evening of 7th of June. 1956, it was reported that two people had gone out in the afternoon in their motor boat to look at their lobster pots and had not returned. The life- boat H. F. Bailey put out at 7.30 in a very rough sea. There was a north- westerly gale blowing. She searched along the cliffs to the west of Helvick Head and eventually found the small motor boat in a small inlet sheltering from the wind. The life-boat escorted the boat back to harbour, arriving back at her station at about 8.20. The owners thanked the crew.—Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore £2 8,9..
