SEPTEMBER 1ST. - DUNMORE EAST, CO. WATERFORD. During the morning news was received by wireless from the S.S. Irish Willow that she had on board forty-seven survivors from the S.S. Empire Breeze, which had been torpedoed in mid-Atlantic on the 22nd August, and that she proposed to land them at Dunmore East. At 1.30 P.M. the motor life-boat Annie Blanche Smith was launched, with doctors and ambulance men on board. A light S.W. wind was blowing and the sea was smooth. In two trips the life-boat landed the forty-seven men, and after being given food they left for Dublin.

The life-boat returned to her station at 3.45 P.M. The owners of the Empire Breeze made a donation to the Institution. - Rewards, £4 7s. 6d.
