Galway Bay. At 7.15 on the morning of the 26th of February, 1959, the local doctor requested the use of the life- boat to take a child, who had pushed a nail up his nostril, to the mainland for hospital treatment. The life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson left her moorings at 8.15. The sea was very rough, and there was a strong northerly wind and an ebb tide. The life-boat embarked the child and landed him at Rossaveal, where an ambulance was waiting to take him to Galway. The life-boat reached her station at 12.15. Rewards to the crew, £11 15s..
