LIFE-BOAT ESCORTS YAWL WITH SIX CHILDREN ABOARD Valentia, Co. Kerry. At 4.55 on the afternoon of the 31st August, 1962, a message was received from Cahirciveen that six children were adrift in a yawl under oars and were being blown seawards about a mile and a half off Cuascrom harbour in Dingle Bay. At 5.10 the life-boat Peter and Sarah Blake, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings and made for the position in a fresh south-easterly breeze and a moderate sea. It was high water. The life-boat found the yawl near the harbour entrance, escorted her in and then returned to moorings, arriving at 6.40.

The parents of the children expressed their thanks..
