Inga
Stornoway, Hebrides. At 11.15 on the night of the 4th of January, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the motor vessel Inga of Helsingborg, Sweden, was anchored in Branahuie Bay three miles from Stornoway and had a very sick child on board who needed a doctor. As there was no other suitable boat avail- able, the life-boat The James and Margaret Boyd put out with a doctor on board at 11.45. The doctor was put aboard the vessel and decided after examining the child, who was five months old, that she should be taken to hospital. The mother and child were taken aboard the life-boat and landed at Stornoway at 1.30, where anambulance was waiting to take them to hospital. Rewards to the crew, £6 5s..
