UNABLE TO MOVE At 11.45 a-m- on 22nd August, 1964, the life-boat's motor mechanic was told that a motor fishing boat was on the rocks at Guileen in a choppy sea and fresh westsouth- westerly breeze. At 11.55, when the tide was at low water, the life-boat Ethel Mary made for the fishing boat Beal Bourine, which was within a few yards of the rocks with her anchor down. The fishing boat had fouled her propeller on a rope and was unable to move from the rocks while the life-boat could not come closer because of shallow water. A small local boat carried a line to the life-boat, which towed the fishing boat to Cobh where she was beached. The life-boat returned to her station at 7.40 p.m..
