Donaghadee, Co. Down. At 2.26 on the morning of the 5th of October, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a message had been received from the police that red flares had been seen off Glenarm. Further enquiries were made, and at 3.2 the life-boat Sir Samuel Kelly put out.

There was a rough sea, a moderate south-easterly wind was blowing, and the tide was half ebb. With the help of her searchlight the life-boat found the motor fishing boat C. Risager of White- haven, which had a crew of three. The fishing boat's engine had broken down, and the life-boat took her in tow to Larne, reaching her station at 2.45.

Rewards to the crew, £28 5s..
