The following life-boat service should have been included in the September, 1967, issue of THE LIFEBOAT.

Arklow, Wicklow - At 12.15 p.m. on 3rd May, 1967, the harbour master informed the honorary secretary that the motor vessel Manta of Liverpool was approaching Arklow harbour with her engines stopped.

Before she reached the entrance she was driven on to the beach south of the harbour. The master requested that the life-boat stand by. The lifeboat Inbhear Mor launched at 12.30 in a strong easterly breeze and a rough sea. The tide was flooding.

The life-boat stood by until it was confirmed her services were not required and she returned to her station at 2.25..
