Stornoway, Hebrides. At 2.10 on the morning of the 27th of April, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the liner Kungsholm of Gothenburg, which was on passage to Sweden from the United States of America, would be off Stornoway at 4.30. She wanted to land a passenger who was suffering from kidney trouble.

The life-boat The James and Margaret Boyd put out at 4.25 with a doctor on board. It was low water, and there was a light variable wind with a slight sea. The life-boat reached the Kungs- holm and found that the passenger and his wife had been put aboard a fishing boat. They were transferred to the life-boat, which reached Stornoway at 5.50. Rewards to the crew, £6..
