APRIL 8TH. - KILMORE, CO. WEXFORD.

At 8.20 P.M. a telephone request was received for the services of the life-boat to take off a sick man from the Coningbeg Lightship. The message had been transmitted to Rosslare by the S.S. Rockabill, which had got it from the lightship. The motor life-boat Ann Isabella Pyemont was launched at 8.45 P.M. A strong S.S.W. gale was blowing, with a heavy sea, and the life-boat had great difficulty in taking off the man. He had to be lowered into her in his hammock.

On her way back the life-boat signalled for a doctor to meet her, and arrived at 12.5 A.M.

The man was found to have a duodenal ulcer, and it is probable that he would have died if he had not been brought ashore. - Rewards, £21 13s..
