Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. At 11.59 on the night of the 9th of May, 1959, the honorary secretary was informed that a sailing boat with one man on board, which had last been seen off the west pier earlier that day, had not returned to harbour. No further information could be obtained, and it was decided that the life-boat Dunleary II should carry out a search. She left her moorings at 12.50 in calm weather, with the tide ebbing. As she was leaving the harbour the coxswain saw the missing boat secured in a position which might later become dangerous behind the west pier. The life-boat took her in tow and reached her moorings at 1.53. Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 9s..
