Patriot
OCTOBER 2 9TH. - ROSSLARE HARBOUR, CO. WEXFORD. The fishing boat Patriot, with a crew of five, left in the early morning to take relief keepers to the Tuskar Rock Lighthouse. She had not returned by 8.30 that evening and anxiety was felt for her, although the westerly breeze was slight and the sea smooth. At 8.45 the motor life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson was launched and found the fishing boat at anchor near Calmines Buoy with her engine broken down.
She towed her into harbour at 9.30 that night. - Rewards, £4 19s. Partly permanent paid crew..
