JANUARY 7TH. - HOWTH, CO. DUBLIN.

At ten o’clock in the morning a telephone message was received from Rush that the motor fishing boat Guiding Light, with a crew of five, had gone out fishing the day before.

She had not returned, and enquiries along the coast had brought no news of her. A strong northerly breeze was blowing, with a heavy sea. The motor life-boat R.P.L. was launched at noon, and the coast life-saving service sent out a military aeroplane to help in the search. It found the fishing boat seven miles east of Howth. Her engine had failed and she had been out of control all night. The life-boat towed her into Howth Harbour, arriving at 1.50 that afternoon.- Rewards, £6 6s..
