- (continued from previous page)Albert Slusher swam from the ship and was rescued by Michael Kenny and his crew.
The Leon was first sighted off Mutton Island by the coastguards. She changed her course off lime rock and caught by a heavy sea and was driven ashore. The fisherman from Quilty that were in the rescue went to Dublin and brought their canoe with them, A lot of money was gathered and a new Church was built in Quilty called "Star of the Sea". The French Government sent money to build it and also medals to the brave men. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
