TWO BOYS AND SAILING DINGHY SAVED Howth, Co. Dublin. At 6.50 on the evening of Monday the 12th of August, 1963, the acting honorary secretary received a telephone call from a man at Donabate stating he was concerned for the safety of his son and another boy who were attempting to sail to Lambay in a small sailing dinghy. He had watched the dinghy through binoculars and considered that the strong ebb tide would make it difficult, if not impossible, for the boys to return to the mainland.

The life-boat, A.M.T. was launched at 7.30 and at 8.40 found the dinghy under the cliffs at Lambay. There was a slight sea and light airs from the west when the boys were taken on board the lifeboat.

The dinghy was towed to Howth which was reached at 9.40. The boy's father made a donation to the Institution for this service..
