OCTOBER 27TH. - PORTRUSH, CO. AN-.TRIM. In the afternoon an R.A.F. sergeant was walking in the neighbourhood of Ramore Head with a leading aircraftwoman, and was washed into the sea at Reviggery Point. His companion went for help and the coastguard telephoned to the life-boat station. A fresh breeze was blowing, with a heavy swell and this prevented the man from swimming ashore. The life-boat T.B.B.H. was launched at 5.45 and picked him up alive, gave him first aid and landed him at 6.30. His head was injured and he was taken to hospital.- Rewards, £16 7s..
