Howth, Co. Dublin. At 11.15 on the morning of the 4th of August, 1958, the honorary secretary saw the yacht Elizabeth capsize during a yacht race.

The life-boat R.P.L. put out at 11.20 in a choppy sea. A westerly wind of nearly gale force was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat reached the position of the yacht and found that her crew of three had been rescued by another yacht. She took the Elizabeth in tow to Howth, arriving at 12.15. A monetary gift was made to the life-boat crew. Rewards to the crew, £7 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 4s..
