DID NOT REVIVE At 4.15 p.m. on 3rd September, 1964, a nurse on Inishmaan Island reported that a doctor was needed to attend to a young girl who had been rescued from the sea. It was just after high water with a smooth sea and moderate westerly winds.

At 4.30 the life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson left for Inishmaan with a doctor aboard. The doctor tried to revive the child for two hours without success, and the life-boat returned to her station at 7 p.m..
