Mary Bridget, of Wexford
APRIL 13TH. - ROSSLARE HARBOUR, CO. WEXFORD. At 7.10 in the morning a message was received from the owner of the fishing boat Mary Bridget, of Wexford, that she was missing. She had a crew of three.
A southerly wind was blowing and the sea smooth. At 8.30 the motor life-boat Agnes Cross, on temporary duty at the station, was launched and found the Mary Bridget off Raven Point about eight miles north of Rosslare Pier. Her trawl had fouled her propellers, and she was lying close to the breakers on the beach. Her skipper was afraid that she would be driven ashore and asked the life-boat to tow her to Wexford. This the life-boat did, and reached her station again at 1.20 that afternoon. - Rewards £1 19s.
Partly paid permanent crew..
