Barra Island, Hebrides.—During the night of the 31st October, 1938, a whole south-westerly gale sprang up, and the steamer Kyle Rona, of Glasgow, which was at anchor in the bay, lost one of her anchors and was in danger of being driven on the rocks. A very heavy sea was running. The steamer's danger was seen and the motor life-boat Lloyd's was launched to her help at 11.45 P.M. She stood by her all through the night. Next morning the storm abated and the Kyle Rona was able to steam to Castlebay Pier. The lifeboat returned to her station at 9.30 A.M., having been at sea for nearly ten hours.—Rewards, £20 9s..
