At 8.30 P.M. signals of distress were seen from a fishing skiff about two miles north-east of Wicklow Pier. A moderate S.W. gale was blowing, with a heavy sea. At 8.45 P.M. the motor life-boat Lady Kylsant was launched, and found the skiff Polly, with three men on board, three miles east-south-east of the pier.

They had broken an oar, and were being blown out to sea. A line was got on board, and the skiff was towed back to harbour.

Information was then received that the skiff Parnell was in difficulties, so the life-boat put out again and found the skiff two miles north of the pier with one of her crew of three very ill. The life-boat took the sick man on board, and towed the skiff into harbour. She was r e a d y f o r s e r v i c e a g a i n a t 1 1 . 4 5 P .M. - Rewards, £15 18s. 6d..
