Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford. At 11.36 on the morning of the 4th of January, 1958, the assistant inspector of Irish Lights told the honorary secretary that there was a sick man on board the Blackwater lightvessel. As there was no Irish Lights steamer available to bring him ashore, the life- boat Douglas Hyde put out at 12.5 in a rough sea. There was a moderate southerly wind and the tide was flood- ing. The life-boat reached the light- vessel, embarked the sick man and landed him at Rosslare Harbour at 4.50. The man was suffering from sea- sickness. Rewards to the crew, £13 ; reward to the helper on shore, 16s.

Refunded to the Institution by the Commissioners of Irish Lights..
