The S.S. Irish Beech

DECEMBER 15TH. - DUNMORE EAST, CO. WATERFORD. The S.S. Irish Beech arrived off Dunmore East in a southerly gale, with very heavy seas. The pilot boat had gone up the river for shelter and the pilot was unable to go out to the steamer. As no other boat was available the motor life-boat Annie Blanche Smith was launched at 10.45 A.M. with the pilot aboard. She escorted the Irish Beech to near Duncannon, and there was able to put the pilot aboard her.

The life-boat returned to her station at 1 P.M.
