NOVEMBER 11TH . - ARKLOW, CO. WICKLOW. At about 12.30 P.M. the Arklow fishing boat Willie Way was seen to be in difficulties while trying unsuccessfully to land the relief lighthousemen at the lightship.

It was blowing hard from the south, and the sea was very rough. The motor lifeboat Inbhear Mor was launched at 12.45 P.M. and found the Willie Way drifting two miles north of the bar. She had lost her rudder.

There were five men on board her, and as it would have been dangerous to attempt to bring her back to Arklow the coxswain decided to tow her to Wicklow. They arrived there at 4.10 P.M. and the life-boat returned to her station at 9 P.M. - Rewards, £22 9s. 6d.
