SEPTEMBER 24TH. - PORTRUSH, CO. ANTRIM.

At 12.25 in the morning the Portrush coastguard telephoned that the Ballycastle coastguard had reported a small boat in difficulties between Ballycastle and Fair Head.

A fresh south-west wind was blowing, with a heavy ground swell. The motor life-boat T.B.B.H. was launched at 12.55 and at 4.30 found a motor boat at anchor in Ballycastle Bay. Her engine had broken down. She had three men on board. With the help of life-boatmen the three men got her engines running again. She then went on her way to Larne. The life-boat went with her. After a time the men said that they were now quite happy and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at ten that morning. - Rewards, £15 3s..
