AUGUST 28TH. - HOWTH, CO. DUBLIN.

At about 4 in the afternoon, the sailing yachts Mimosa and Oona collided in a heavy westerly squall. They were both dismasted and in danger of being driven ashore on the rocks of The Steer off Ireland’s Eye. Each had three men on board. The motor life-boat R.P.L. was launched, in a choppy sea, at 4.10 P.M. She took the two yachts in tow and reached Howth again at 4.50 P.M. The owner of the Mimosa made a donation to the station. - Rewards, £4 12s..
