Four Fishing Boats

SEPTEMBER 20TH. - YOUGHAL, CO.

CORK. At 8.55 in the morning a message came that four fishing boats in the harbour were in danger of being swamped. A northnorth- east gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. The motor life-boat Laurana Sarah Blunt was launched at 9.10, and found the four fishing boats with one man in each.

The men were unable to make the land against the wind, and were being driven seawards.

The life-boat towed each boat separately to the dock and returned to her station at 10.30.
