Coxswain Patrick Sliney, of Ballycotton, who has already won the Institution's gold and bronze medals, has now won its silver medal for saving an Irish steamer and her crew of 35 men. The steamer's engines had failed and heavy seas were carrying her rapidly on to an island, where she would have been broken to pieces on the rocks in a few minutes The life-boat towed her head round just in time and she drifted past the island with less than half a mile to spare. Tie Institution has awarded bronze medals to the second-coxswain and two motor mechanics, and its thanks on vellum to each of the other four members of the crew..
