LOCH NEVIS SEARCH Mallaig, Inverness-shire. At 3.45 p.m. on i6th November, 1964, the wife of the owner of the motor launch Queen of Scots told the honorary secretary that the launch was overdue from a trip to Inverie.

The sea was moderate with a northwesterly gale blowing and it was one hour past high water. At 4.5 the Ufe-boat E. M. M. Gordon Cubbin put out and after searching half of Loch Nevis found the launch which had been sheltering from the wind and sea. The life-boat escorted her to Mallaig, returning to her station at 5.55..
