Tyrronall
Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.—At 4.35 on the afternoon of the 25th of May, 1957, the master of the motor vessel St. Patrick telephoned the honorary secretary to say that a small motor vessel appeared to be in trouble in South Shear three miles from Rosslare harbour. At five o'clock the life- boat Douglas Hyde put out in a rough sea. There was a moderate north- easterly gale blowing and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the motor vessel Tyrronall, of Dublin, with a crew of seven. Her engine had broken down and her radio had stopped work- ing. The life-boat brought her master ashore to enable him to contact the vessel's owner and later took him back again. She then returned to her moorings, arriving at 7.30. The coxswain and a member of the life-boat crew maintained a watch during the night in case the TyrronaWs anchor chain parted in the strong wind and rough seas, and at eight o'clock oil the' morning of the 26th a sister ship arrived to tow the Tyronall to Rosslare harbour.—Partly Permanent Paid Crew.
