Wicklow. At 10.30 on the morning of the 19th of November, 1959, the second coxswain came to the conclusion that a 16-ft. fishing skiff with an out- board motor, which had put out at six o'clock and had not returned, might be in danger. The sea was very rough, and at 10.45 the life-boat /. W. Archer was launched with the second cox- swain in command. There was a fresh south-easterly wind and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the boat three miles north of Wicklow, with a crew of three, heading for harbour.

She escorted her to the harbour and reached her station at noon. Rewards to the crew. £8 15s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 2s..
