TOW FOR MOTOR CRUISER IN FULL GALE Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. At eight o'clock on the evening of the 25th August, 1962, the harbour constable told the motor mechanic that a yacht was broached to four and a half miles east-north-east of Dun Laoghaire. A full westerly gale was blowing when the lifeboat Dunleary II left her moorings at 8.8 on a flooding tide in a very rough sea. The life-boat found the motor cruiser Rosalind with five people on board. Her engines had broken down, and the life-boat crew at their second attempt managed to get a tow rope aboard. The Rosalind was then towed into harbour, where her crew were landed and the yacht was moored. The life-boat reached her moorings at 10.15.

The owner of the vessel expressed his thanks..
