Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—On the afternoon of the 3rd of June, 1957, the coxswain saw a small fishing boat drifting out to sea about three miles east of Rosslare harbour. At 3.5 the life-boat Douglas Hyde put out in a choppy sea. There was a fresh west- erly breeze blowing, and the tide was half ebb. The life-boat came up with the local fishing boat Mary, with a crew of four. She had shipped a considerable amount of water, and the life-boat took her crew on board and towed her to Rosslare harbour, arriving at 4.15.—Partly Permanent Paid Crew.

Rewards to the crew, £5; reward to the helper on shore, 13*..
