NOVEMBER  30 TH. - ARKLOW, CO. WICKLOW. At 9.15 P.M. a message was received from the civic guard that a fishing boat was showing distress signals half a mile up the north shore, and at 9.40 P.M. the motor life-boat Inbhear Mor was launched. A S.E. wind was blowing and the sea was rough.

By the light of her searchlight the life-boat found a local herring drifter anchored close in shore in heavy seas, half a mile from the pier head on the north beach. She had no sails or engine, only oars. The life-boat rescued the three men on board and took the boat in tow. She arrived back at Arklow at 10.30 P.M. - Rewards, £13 1s.
