NOVEMBER 5TH. - ROSSLARE HARBOUR, CO. WEXFORD. The motor fishing boat Onward, of Rosslare Harbour, had not returned with the rest of the fishing fleet.

A N.E. wind was blowing, with a rough sea and heavy rain, and as the weather got worse the motor life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson was launched at 8.30 P.M. to make a search. She found the Onward near the Wexford Bar and escorted her home, arriving at 10 P.M. - Partly permanent paid crew..
