A Small Sailing Boat
APRIL 29TH. - POOLBEG, CO. DUBLIN.
At 6.50 in the evening a message was received from the harbour master at Dun Laoghaire that a small sailing boat off Poolbeg needed help. A strong north-west breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. At 7.5 the motor life-boat Helen Blake was launched and found a sailing boat which had capsized. She made a thorough search for her crew of two, but could not find them, and with the sailing boat in tow returned to Dun Laoghaire at 10.15 that night. - Rewards, £7 5s..
