Barra Island, Hebrides.—16th November.

Two keepers had put out from Monach Island lighthouse, forty-five miles from Barra, in a small boat on the previous day, and all trace of them had been lost. An unsuccessful search was made, and later it was learned that the men had been drowned. The Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses sent a letter of appreciation.—^Rewards, £23 5s. 6d..
