NOVEMBER 21ST. - PORTRUSH, CO. ANTRIM.

At 10.53 at night the naval officerin- charge at Londonderry asked that the lifeboat should go to Magilligan Point, Lough Foyle, and await orders. A moderate southerly wind was blowing. The motor lifeboat T.B.B.H. was launched at 11.20 and arrived and dropped anchor at 2.30 next morning. At 8.30 she weighed anchor and went alongside a Canadian navalship H.M.C.S. Jollettie. A tug had arrived to tow the Jollettie, and the life-boat put her captain on board the tug. As her services were no longer needed she returned to her station, arriving at 11.40 that morning. - Rewards, £22 9s. 6d.
