Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.—At 5.35 on the evening of the 17th of July, 1957, a telephone message was received that a motor boat needed help in Scotch Bay. She had a crew of five, one of whom was waving a shirt. The life-boat Dunleary II put out at 5.57 in a rough sea. There was a fresh south-easterly breeze blowing and the tide was ebbing.

The life-boat came up with the motor boat, which had engine trouble and was leaking badly, and took her in tow. She reached her moorings at 6.30. The five men expressed their thanks.—Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 8s..
