Two Sand Barges

NOVEMBER 21ST. - COURTMACSHERRY, CO. CORK. At 11.20 in the morning a message was received that two sand barges, of Courtmacsherry, were drifting across the harbour bar and out to sea. A moderate westerly breeze was blowing, and the sea was rough. The motor life-boat Sarah Ward and William David Crosweller was launched at 11.30 and found the two sand barges with three men on each. She towed them to harbour and arrived back at her station at 12.40. - Rewards, £5 1s..
