SEPTEMBER 19TH. - BALTIMORE, CO.

CORK. During the morning a telephone message was received from Union Hall post office that a fishing boat was in difficulties.

A strong westerly breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. Later it was learned that the boat had broken down, and at 1.15 in the afternoon the motor life-boat Shamrock was launched. She found the Skibbereen fishing boat Sirus six miles south-east of Baltimore, anchored on a lee shore in a dangerous position.

She had four men on board. The lifeboat towed her into port, and reached her station again at four o’clock. - Rewards, £5 18s..
