ANOTHER MATERNITY CASE Tobermory, Argyllshire.—On January 20th, 1947, a doctor telephoned asking for the life-boat to convey to Oban a woman with child, who was dangerously ill. The only hope of saving her life was to get her to Oban immediately, and from there to Glasgow for an opera- tion. She was the sister-in-law of the life-boat's motor mechanic. The weather was fine, with a south-easterly wind and a moderate sea. The motor life-boat Sir Arthur Rose left for Oban at 3.15 in the afternoon with the patient and two nurses on board, and landed them at Oban at 6.40 in the evening.

She got back to her station at 11.45 that night. The cost of the service was paid by the Argyll County Council.— Rewards, £10 11s..
