OCTOBER 21ST. - DUN LAOGHAIRE, CO.

DUBLIN. At about 11 A.M. the harbour master was informed by telephone that a ship’s boat, the Dronze, of Howth, had left Howth at 9 P.M. the previous evening to go to Sutton, four miles away, but had not been seen since passing the Bailey Lighthouse at 9.30 P.M. Enquiries were made without result, but a boat could be seen anchored on the Burford Bank in Dublin Bay, and at 12.55 P.M. the motor life-boat Dunleary II was launched to her. The sea was smooth and a moderate westerly breeze was blowing.

The life-boat found that this boat was the missing boat. Her engine had failed and she had lost her rudder. The two men on board were almost exhausted. The life-boat tookthem on board, and with their boat in tow, brought them to Dun Laoghaire, arriving at 2.20 P.M. - Rewards, £3 6s..
