A strong S.W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea, and though she made no signals, anxiety was felt for her safety, and the motor life-boat Inbhear Mor was launched at 8.45 P.M., with a supply of fuel oil. She reached the Dan O’Connell three miles N.E. of Arklow pier, and put the oil on board. One of her crew jumped into the life-boat, which brought him ashore, arriving a the station at 9.45 P.M. - Rewards, £15 10s. 6d.
