Stornoway, Hebrides. At 11.15 on the night of the 21st of October, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secre- tary that a trawler bound for Storno- way from the Little Minch had a badly injured man on board who needed immediate medical attention. At 11.45 the life-boat The James and Margaret Boyd put out with the honorary medical adviser on board. There was a choppy sea, with a moderate south-westerly wind blowing and a flood tide. The life-boat met the trawler Tervani of Fleetwood, and the doctor went aboard, but the man was found to be dead.

The life-boat and the trawler then made for Stornoway, arriving at 4.15.
