TAKEN TO STORNOWAY Stornoway, Outer Hebrides. At 11.15 P-m. on i2th May, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the motor vessel Moron of Glasgow, which wished to land a sick man at Stornoway, was now off Bayble, and asked if the lifeboat could meet her off Chicken Head.

At 11.55 the life-boat The James and Margaret Boyd was launched with a doctor. A gale was blowing from the west-south-west, the sea was very rough and the tide was ebbing. Forty minutes later the life-boat reached the vessel, took the patient on board, and transferred him to an ambulance at Stornoway at 1.20 a.m..
