Barra Island, Outer Hebrides.—On the morning of the 18th of October, 1955, five men put off in a fishing boat to go to Barrahead to ferry sheep to Mingulay, but the weather worsened during the day and their families became anxious. At 4.30 the life-boat Lloyd's put out. She made a search in a very rough sea, with a fresh south-easterly gale blowing, and found the boat in Sandray Sound. The boat's engine had broken down. The life-boat escorted her to Castlebay, arriving at 6.15.—Rewards to the crew, £8 155.; reward to the helper on shore, 18s..
