Galway Bay, County Galway.—At two o'clock on the afternoon of the 8th of April, 1957, the local doctor reported that a woman had been attacked by a cow and had been seriously injured.

He asked if the life-boat would bring her to the mainland. At 2.15 the life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson put out in a choppy sea with a moderate easterly breeze blowing. The tide was ebbing. The woman was taken to the mainland and then to hospital, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 6.45.—Rewards to the crew, £11 4*'.; reward to the helper on shore, 12s. Refunded to the Institu- tion by the Galway County Council.
