DUTCH VESSEL TOWED OFF ROCKS IN GALE Arranmore, Co. Donegal. At 11.45 on the morning of the 9th December, 1962, the honorary secretary was informed that the motor vessel Unitas of Groningen was in difficulties at Kincasslagh Bay. She had drifted on to the rocks and her crew of eight had landed. The vessel's steering gear had been damaged, and at 12.30 the life-boat W. M. Tilson left her moorings in a north-westerly gale and a very rough sea. The tide was flooding. When she reached the position a tow line was connected to the life-boat, which succeeded in towing the Unitas clear of the rocks. The vessel was safely moored alongside the pier, and the lifeboat reached her station at seven o'clock..
