Valentia, Co. Kerry.—At 12.45 on the afternoon of the 6th of March, 1957, a message was received from Valentia radio that the trawler Acacia, of Dub- lin, needed help immediately at the mouth of Kenmare Bay. The life- boat A.E.D. put out at one o'clock in a moderate sea. There was a strong south-south-westerly breeze blowing and the tide was flooding. Rain and fog made visibility bad. The life-boat found the trawler, with a crew of six, anchored four miles south-west of Westcove. Her fishing gear had fouled her propeller and she was taken in tow to Portmagee. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 11.25.—Rewards to the crew, £29 15*.; reward to the helper on shore, £1 2*..
