OCT. 31ST. - ARKLOW, CO. WICKLOW.

It had been reported that a raft with men on board could be seen off Wicklow Head.

A strong gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. A rowing skiff put out from Wicklow as well as the motor life-boat from Arklow.

The “‘raft” was found to be fisherman’s buoys with an upright pole to which a hurricane lantern was attached. The life-boat towed the skiff and buoys into Arklow.- Rewards, £8 18s..
