Mallaig, Inverness-shire.—In the.morn- ing of the 4th of October, 1949, it was decided to send the life-boat to the islands of Soay and Eigg with pro- visions as, owing to bad weather, the weekly steamer had not called and no other boat was available. The life^ boat Sir Arthur Rose left her moorings at 10 o'clock in a very rough sea, with a southerly gale blowing, took stores and mail to the islands and arrived back at her station at 5.30 that evening.
