NOVEMBER 14TH. - DONAGHADEE, CO.

DOWN. At 2.50 in the afternoon, the Admiralty salvage officer at Bangor reported, through the coastguard, that two salvage lighters, with crews on board, were drifting ashore in Belfast Lough, near Bangor. A strong northerly wind was blowing, with a rough sea and hail showers. The motor lifeboat Civil Service No. 5 left her moorings at 3.15 and reached the lighters at 4.15. She stood by until tugs arrived, passed ropes from the lighters to the tugs, and then helped in getting the lighters to safety. She returned to her moorings at seven that evening.
