Informa- tion reached Aranmore about 9 P.M. on the 2nd August that two fishing boats belonging to the place were in difficulties, and as there was a S.E. gale blowing, with a rough sea, the Life-boat La Totitam was launched and proceeded to their assistance. The boats were taking shelter under the little Island of Arran, and the Life-boat met one of them rounding the north side; about an hour later she fell in with the other one. She then escorted both home, Aranmore being reached shortly after midnight..
