Galway Bay.—At 6.45 on the evening of the 7th of March, 1956, the local doctor asked if the life-boat would take him to Inishere to attend a maternity case. As no other boat was available, the life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson put out, with the assistant mechanic in charge, and the doctor on board. The sea was calm, there was a light south-westerly breeze, and it was low water. The life-boat took the doctor to Inishere and returned to her station, arriving at 11.45. Rewards to the crew, £12 5,9.; reward to the helper on shore, 16s. Refunded to the Institution by the Galway County Council..
