Mallaig, Inverness-shire. At one o' clock on the morning of the 18th March, 1963, a message was received by the honorary secretary that there was a patient on the Isle of Rhum who needed a doctor. As no other suitable boat was available, the life-boat E. M. M. Gordon Cubbin put out at 2.30 with a doctor on board. He was landed on the island and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 9.30..
