Singing, dancing, drama, music and fun
by Denis O'Regan
As part of my membership of the IWDG (Irish Whale and Dolphin Group) I am trained as a responder to attend to stranded dolphins and whales
Occasionally stranded dolphins are reported alive and depending on several factors it might be deemed appropriate to attempt guiding the animal back to the ocean. Dolphins are heavy. A Common Dolphin can weigh 150 kilograms. One method the IWDG employs is to place the dolphin in a strong sling which can take 6 to 8 volunteers to lift and carry it back to the sea. Trained IWDG responders are insured for this task however, it can be difficult to gather enough members especially as speed is critical.
Dolphins are not designed to be on land and when stranded it faces many dangers.

Lislevane sea-captain: Impressive Scenes at Funeral in China
Native People in Tears
The unwonted sight of a large body of Chinese in tears at a European’s funeral was witnessed in Hong Kong towards the end of last September. The occasion was the obsequies of Captain Michael McCarthy, Skipper of a South China river steamer, who was born at Butlerstown, Lislevane. A people’s gratitude for unfailing kindness, lavish generosity and practical interest in their spiritual and temporal welfare was the impelling motive in this impressive tribute.
