CLINGING TO DINGHY Ballycotton, Co. Cork. At 7.43 p.m.

on ifth April, 1964, a sailing dinghy which was being kept under observation by the coxswain and mechanic was seen to capsize at the northern side of Ballycotton Bay. There was a moderate southerly breeze with a corresponding sea. It was high water. The life-boat Ethel Mary set out at 7.45 and soon reached the dinghy. Her crew of two were clinging to the side and were taken on board the life-boat where, suffering from cold and exhaustion, they were given rum and cigarettes. The dinghy was righted and towed back to the harbour, and the life-boat arrived back at her station at 8.30..
