A Small Rowing Boat

JULY 9TH. - PORTRUSH, CO. ANTRIM.

The motor life-boat T.B.R.H. was launched at 2.10 in the afternoon at the request of the naval officer in charge, Londonderry, to go to the help of a small rowing boat of Nagilligan, which was drifting towards Downhill.

A moderate south-west wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. The small boat was found west-by-north of Ramore Head.

She had two cadets on board. The life-boat had arrived just in time, as one had collapsed and the other was much alarmed at his position. She took them and their boat to Portmuck, and reached her station again at 4.30. - Rewards, £5 1s..
