Galway Bay. At 3.30 on the after- noon of the 13th of June, 1960, the local medical officer asked the honorary secretary if the life-boat would go to Inishere Island and take a sick woman to Rossaveal on the mainland for hospital treatment. At four o'clock the life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson put out at low water in a north-westerly wind and a rough sea. The patient was taken on board at Inishere, and the life-boat returned to Kilronan pier, where a local nurse boarded her to look after the woman during the passage to Rossaveal. The life-boat reached the mainland, where an ambulance was waiting to take the patient to hospital, and finally reached her station at eleven o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £12 5s.; reward to the helper on shore, 18s..
