OCTOBER 1ST. - CLOGHER HEAD, CO. LOUTH. At nine at night the local motor trawler Maygough was reported to have been burning flares about seven miles north-east of Port Oriel at seven o’clock. Another trawler had gone to her help, but had not found her. A moderate southerly breeze was blowing, with a moderate swell and fog. The motor life-boat Mary Ann Blunt was launched at 9.40 with the Rev. Father F. G. MacCooey, honorary secretary of the life-boat station, on board. She found the Maygough at anchor, with her engine broken down. She had a crew of five. They had used all their flares.

The life-boat towed her to Port Oriel and reached her station again at 1.20 next morning. - Rewards, £18 13s.
