FEB. 11TH. - ROSSLARE HARBOUR, CO.

WEXFORD. At 9.55 P.M. a telephone message was received that the Coningbeg Lightvessel had signalled a passing steamer that she wanted the life-boat to take ashore a man who was dangerously ill. A S.W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea. At 10.20 P.M.

the motor life-boat K.E.C.F. put out. She reached the light-vessel at 2.45 A.M. In the rough sea it was impossible for the life-boat to go alongside, so the sick man, with one of the light-vessel’s crew, was lowered in one of the light-vessel’s boats, and the two men were then taken aboard the life-boat. She landed them at Rosslare Harbour at 7.40 A.M., and the sick man was taken to Wexford by car.- Expenses defrayed by the Irish Lights Commissioners..
