SEPTEMBER 20TH. - DUNMORE EAST, CO. WATERFORD. During the night of 18th September the sound of bombs and heavy gunfire had been heard out at sea, and on the morning of the 20th a message came from the coast watchers at Hook Pointthat wreckage and a ship’s boat had been seen about 4 miles to the S.S.W. The weather was fine but hazy, with an easterly breeze, and the sea was smooth. At 9.15 A.M.

the motor life-boat Annie Blanche Smith was launched. She found the ship’s boat, but no one was on board, and took her in tow.

About 60 large mahogany logs were floating about, and the life-boat towed back three of them. She arrived at her station at 1.45 P.M.
