Mallaig, Inverness-shire.—At 5.25 on the afternoon of the 15th of August, 1950, a doctor on the island of Eigg telephoned that a woman was seriously ill on Rhum Island, and that no suit- able boat was available in that weather.

In response to his request the life-boat Sir Arthur Rose was launched at 5.50 in a strong south-westerly wind. She crossed to Eigg, picked up the doctor, and took him to Rhum, arriving back at her station at half past twelve in the morning.—Rewards, £12 5s..
