JANUARY 14TH. - FENIT, CO. KERRY.

At noon the lightkeeper on Little Samphire reported a ship’s raft floating three miles to the N.N.W., and a second raft farther north. A strong N.W. wind was blowing with a heavy breaking swell and showers of hail. The motor life-boat Peter and Sarah Blake was launched at 12.30 P.M. and reached the nearer raft at 1.30 P.M. She found no one on board, and took her in tow. Meanwhile the other raft had got into broken water off Fenit Island and in the end went ashore.

She also had no one on board. The lifeboat arrived back at her station at 3.30 P.M.
