Ramsey, Isle of Man.—On the afternoon of the 27th October the steamer Goleta, of London, sheltering in Ramsey bay while bound from North Africa to Workington, signalled that a doctor was needed immediately. A strong N.N.W. gale was blowing, with a heavy sea, and heavy rain squalls. The motor life-boat Lady Harrison was launched, with a doctor and the Rev.

M. W. Harrison, chairman of the station, on board, and went to the Goleta, which was lying about three miles N.E. of the harbour. One of her crew was injured, four were suffering from poisoning, and there was no food or water on board. The injured man was taken ashore, and the life-boat set out again with food, water and medicine. She returned to her station at 6.30 P.M., but there was too much sea on the beach to permit her being rehoused, and she was moored in the harbour. At 7.45 P.M. flares were seen about half a mile S.E. of the harbour, and the life-boat put out again. She found the schooner Edith May, of Wexford, bound light for Maryport, dragging her anchors. The master was afraid that she would be blown out to sea, so the life-boat took off the crew of three and landed them.

She arrived back at her station at 9 P.M., and was rehoused an hour later.—Rewards, First service, £19 Is.; second service, £25 2s. 6d..
