Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford. At 8.20 on the morning of the 8th of June, 1958, the Bailey lighthouse keeper telephoned the honorary secretary to say a radio message had been received from Tusker Rock lighthouse that a trawler was adrift south-west of Tusker Rock. Most of the life-boat crew were at mass in Kilrane church two miles away and the honorary secretary motored there and collected them. The life-boat Douglas Hyde put out at 9.25 in a slight swell with a moderate westerly wind blowing and a flood tide.

She found the trawler Mollia of Dublin, with a crew of five, drifting near Barrells Rock three miles south of Carnesore Point. The trawler's engines had broken down. The life-boat towed her to Rosslare Harbour and reached her moorings at 12.20. Property salvage case..
