Galway Bay, Co. Galway.—On the 7th March, 1938, the owner of the steam trawler Tranio, of Milford, which had run on the rocks in Killeany Bay on Aran Island some days earlier, arrived at Casla Bay on the mainland, with his chief engineer-superintendent, and wired to the island for a boat to take him across to examine the wreck. No boat was available, and as the matter was urgent, since it was the last day of low water for a week, the motor lifeboat William Evans was sent for him.

She was launched at 1 P.M., and arrived back at her station at 4 P.M.—Property Salvage Case..
