Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—On the 29th of July, 1956, the yacht Nellie was moored alongside Rosslare Pier and was being severely buffeted. The owner decided to make passage to Wexford. Fortunately the life-boat crew kept the yacht under observation and saw her go aground on Hantoon bank off Wexford harbour. The life- boat Douglas Hyde put out at 11.15 with considerable difficulty. The sea was very rough, and there was a fresh north-westerly gale, with squalls and an ebbing tide. The life-boat came up with the Nellie, passed a rope and pulled her off the bank. After towing her to a safe anchorage off Rosslare strand, the life-boat returned to her moorings at 2.30.—Partly permanent paid crew.—Rewards to the crew, £4 16*.; reward to the helper on shore, 14*..
