JULY 21ST. - ROSSLARE HARBOUR, CO. WEXFORD. At 1.30 in the afternoon the motor life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson was launched to attend the Curracloe Regatta.

The sea was rough, with a strong southsouth- westerly wind blowing. In that weather the regatta had to be abandoned and several of the visiting yachts from Wexford were unable to get home without help. The life-boat took two in tow and made for Wexford.

Two more were returning under sail, but their sails were blown away. The lifeboat took them in tow too, and they safely reached Wexford, but the following sea on the bar parted the tow rope. The life-boat again took all four yachts in tow and made for Rosslare Harbour, where she berthed them at 7.30 that evening. - Partly permanent paid crew. - Rewards, £1 18s..
