NOVEMBER 16TH. - DUNMORE EAST, CO. WATERFORD. At 3.35 in the afternoon coastwatchers at Brownstown Head saw a boat in difficulties in Tramore Bay and informed the life-boat station. A strong south-south-east wind was blowing, with a very rough sea. The motor life-boat Annie Blanche Smith was launched at four o’clock, and found the trawler Lena, of Waterford.

She had a crew of two. They had had difficulty with their trawl and their engine had been stopped by water coming in through a hole in the boat’s side. The life-boat took them on board and took the Lena in tow, but had to give it up, and the boat was blown on to the rocks near Tramore and became a total wreck. The life-boat reached her station again at 7.15 that evening. - Rewards, £14 2s..
