Barra Island, Hebrides. At 1.30 early on the morning of the 11 th of September.

1959, the honorary secretary was in- formed that two small fishing boats, which had left Castlebay at four o'clock in the afternoon, had not returned and some anxiety was felt. At two o'clock the life-boat R.A. Colby Cubbin No. 3 left her moorings in a calm sea. There were light south-easterly airs and fog.

It was low water. The life-boat found the two boats at anchor a mile and a half from Castlebay waiting for the fog to clear. She escorted them to harbour and reached her moorings at four o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £7..
