Arranmore, Co. Donegal.— On the morning of the 18th of September, 1950, a girl was suddenly taken very ill, needing immediate hospital treatment.

It was very stormy, and no small boat could go to the mainland in the rough seas and the north-westerly gale which was then blowing. At ten o'clock, then, the life-boat W. M. Tilson left her moorings. She embarked the patient, and took her to the mainland, reaching her station again at half past two in the afternoon. — Rewards, £10 8s..
