H.M. S.M.L. A 322

Mallaig, Inverness-shire.—At 3.50 on the afternoon of the 10th of July, 1956, H.M. S.M.L. A 322 was observed to be aground on a rock outside Mallaig harbour. The life-boat Sir Arthur Rose put out at four o'clock with the second coxswain in charge. The sea was calm, the weather was clear, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the motor launch, which had a crew of ten, and passed a tow rope. She then pulled the launch clear. The life-boat arrived back at her station at five o'clock.—Rewards to the crew, £7..
