JULY 11TH. - YOUGHAL, CO. CORK.

During the afternoon of the 10th of July a party of two men and three children went in a rowing boat up the River Blackwater.

They were expected back at nine in the evening, and as they did not return much anxiety was felt, for the river was in flood and can be very difficult and dangerous, especially in the dark. A N.W. breeze was blowing and the water was choppy. At 12.15 A.M. on the 11th the motor life-boat Laurana Sarah Blunt was launched. With the help of her searchlight she found the boat and towed her back, with all on board.

She returned to her station at 1.15 A.M. - Rewards, £10 11s..
