A Dinghy (3)

Arklow, Co. Wicklow. At 11.44 on the morning of the 6th of August, 1960, the honorary secretary learnt from the Wicklow life-boat station that a dinghy had been seen to capsize off Mizen Head. The life-boat Inbhear Mor was launched at 11.51 in a light north- easterly breeze and a moderate sea. It was two hours after high water. When the life-boat arrived at the position, onlookers told the coxswain that the boys had reached the beach. The life- boat recovered their dinghy and re- turned to her station, arriving at 1.20.
