Longhope, Orkneys.—At 7.45 on the night of the 6th of January, 1950, a local doctor telephoned for the life-boat to take a woman who had met with a serious accident to Kirkwall, for hos- pital treatment. As no other boat was available the life-boat Thomas McCunn was launched at 8.15 in a moderate sea with a moderate south-westerly breeze blowing. She took the patient on board and left for Kirkwall, putting her ashore there. Then she returned to her station, arriving at 12.45 the next morning. — Rewards, £16 6s.
