Barra Island, Hebrides.—On the 21st January, 1938, the medical officer at Castlebay received an urgent call to the neighbouring island of Vatersay. A strong westerly gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea, and no ordinary boatcould make the trip. The motor lifeboat Lloyd's set out with him at 3 P.M., landed him in Vatersay Bay, and later brought him and the patient back to Barra Island. She returned to her station at 5.14 P.M. The Department of Health for Scotland made a grant of £10 towards the expenses.— Rewards, £10 6*. 3d..
