Laura
Cloughey, Co. Down. At 10.32 on the morning of the 12th November, 1961, the coastguard passed on to the honorary secretary a report from a woman living in Ballywater that a boat was said to have disappeared near Buckie Pots off Burial Island. At 10.55 the life-boat Constance Calverley was launched in a moderate north-easterly breeze and a rough sea. It was two and a half hours after low water. The life- boat carried out a search but found nothing. While returning to her station the life-boat found the motor boat Laura, which was bringing relief to the South Rock lightvessel. The Laura had engine trouble, and the life-boat stood by while her crew carried out repairs. After the Laura's engine had been repaired the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 4.44..
