Windermere (1)

NOVEMBER 22ND. - WICKLOW. At 10 in the morning distress signals were made by the motor schooner Windermere, of Arklow, a mile N.N.E. of Wicklow pier, and the motor life-boat Lady Kylsant was launched immediately. A strong S.S.E. gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea. The life-boat found the Windermere lying to with her only anchor down. She had lost her other anchor the night before in Arklow Bay. The life-boat took off her crew of five, who were exhausted, landed them, and returned to her station at 12 noon. - Rewards, £10 4s. 6d..
