Tobermory, Isle of Mull.---On the evening of the 5th August, 1939, a doctor asked for the life-boat to take a woman to Oban, to be sent thence to the Maternity Hospital, Glasgow. No steamer was available and he was afraid that she would bleed to death.

The motor life-boat Sir Arthur Rose left at 6.45 P.M., and, after a smooth passage, reached Oban at 9.45, arriving back at her station at 1.40 A.M. next morning. A nurse, who went with the patient, stated that everything was satisfactory, and the latest report received was that the woman was as well as could be expected.—No expense to the Institution..
