Patriot, of Wexford

AUGUST 9TH. - ROSSLARE HARBOUR, CO. WEXFORD. At nine in the evening a telephone message from the military lookout post at Greenore Point reported that the motor fishing boat Patriot, of Wexford, appeared to have broken down and to be flying a signal of distress. A fresh westsouth- west breeze was blowing, but the sea was smooth. The motor life-boat Agnes Cross, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 2.20 and found the boat at Carrick Perch. She had a crew of four. In case she should be blown offshore into a minefield, the life-boat took her in tow and brought her home. - Partly paid permanent crew ; Rewards, £2 3s..
