Youghal, Co. Cork. On the 13th of April, 1960, the local fleet of open salmon yawls were fishing at the entrance to the harbour. At 12.30 one of the boats was carried out into the rough confused water on the bar, and the life-boat Herbert John was therefore launched at one o'clock. There was a south-westerly gale with a very rough sea, and it was one hour before low water. The life-boat found the boat off Cabin Point and took her crew of three on board. With the yawl in tow the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 3.30 in the afternoon. Re- wards to the crew, £9 16s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 5s..
