Valentia, Co. Kerry. At 12.50 on the afternoon of the 9th of September, 1960, the honorary secretary received a report that a man was missing from a party of visitors who had been bathing at Keel Strand. The life-boat Rowland Watts left her moorings at 1.5 in a moderate westerly breeze with a moder- ate sea. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the man floating in the water and took him on board. Artificial respiration was begun at once, but the man did not recover, and his body was landed at Valentia quay. The life-boat returned to her moorings at 7.30. Re- wards to the crew, £12 16s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, 16s..
