Mallaig, Inverness-shire.—At 10.20 on the morning of the llth of September, 1953, the doctor on Eigg asked if the life-boat would take him to Canna to attend an urgent medical case, as no other boat was available. At 10.45 the life-boat Sir Arthur Rose put out in a moderate sea with a north- westerly gale blowing. She arrived at Eigg at two o'clock, embarked the doctor, took him to Rhum and there transferred him to a fishing boat. The fishing boat took him to Canna, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 7.30.—Rewards, £15 9s..
