SECOND COXSWAIN DROWTSED WHILE OUT FISHING Howth, Co. Dublin. At 7.35 on the evening of the 22nd November, 1962, the coxswain informed the honorary secretary that the son of the second coxswain, William McLoughlin, had reported that his father had left the harbour at eight o'clock that morning to put out his lobster pots and had not returned at his usual time, which was midday. The life-boat A.M.T. left her moorings at 8.3 in a light southerly breeze and a calm sea. It was one hour before high water. The life-boat carried out a search, and at 10.15 the coxswain sighted in the beam of the life-boat's searchlight the bow of the second coxswain's twelve-foot punt just breaking the surface of the water. When the lifeboat came alongside it was found that twenty lobster pots had gone over the side in a heap and the punt was moored by them. There was no sign of the second coxswain. A search was made by the life-boat without success, and the punt and pots were brought back to Howth, the life-boat reaching her station at 11.10. During the next two days further searches were made with members of the Dublin Sub Aqua Club skin divers on board the life-boat, but the second coxswain was not found. The life-boat crew refused to accept any rewards for their services on these two days. The Dun Laoghaire life-boat also searched on the 22nd November..
