Mallaig, Inverness-shire.—On the 19th of January, 1954, a motor-vessel passed a message to the life-boat station through Portpatrick airport, asking that a doctor be sent to the island of Rhum. The bad weather had put the normal means of communication out of action, and, as no other boat was available, the life-boat Sir Arthur Rose put to sea at 5.30 in the evening with a doctor. She took him to Rhum in a heavy sea and south-westerly gale, and arrived back at her station at 11.15.—Rewards, £14 5s..
