Mary, of Wicklow

SEPTEMBER 20TH. - WICKLOW. At five in the morning seven local boats went out fishing three miles north of Wicklow. The weather was moderate, but by six o’clock it had worsened. Six of the boats returned, and anxiety was felt for the safety of the one that was still at sea. A strong north-easterly gale was now blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Lady Kylsant was launched at seven o’clock, and found the Mary, of Wicklow, with a crew of three, one mile north of the harbour. At the request of the skipper, she escorted her to Wicklow, arriving back at her station at 7.45. - Rewards, £6 1s..
