Galway Bay.—At one o'clock on the afternoon of the 15th of February, 1955, the local doctor asked if the life- boat would take a sick man in need of hospital treatment to the mainland, as no other suitable boat was available.

At 1.45 the life-boat Mabel Marion Thomson embarked the patient and the district nurse and put out in a calm sea, with a northerly breeze blowing.

The life-boat landed the man at Ros- saveal, where an ambulance was wait- ing, and returned to her station, arriving at 5.45.—Rewards, £10 19s. Refunded to the Institution by the Galway County Council..
