MARCH 23RD. - KILMORE, CO. WEXFORD.

A telegram was received at 5.30 in the afternoon asking that the life-boat might be used to bring off a sick man from the Coningbeg Lightship. The weather was too bad for an ordinary boat. A moderate gale was blowing, with a heavy sea. At six o’clock the motor life-boat Ann Isabella Pyemont was launched. It was only with great difficulty that she embarked the man, as the lightship was lying very awkwardly in the heavy seas. She brought him ashore and returned to her station at 11.30 that night. The Commissioners of Irish Lights made a donation of £20 to the Institution. - Rewards, £40 6s. 6d.
