CHILD HELPED At 1.30 p.m. on yth March, 1966, the local doctor informed the honorary secretary that a one year old child on Inishere Island required medical attention and, as no other boat was available, he requested the help of the life-boat. At 2.30 the life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson set out in a strong south westerly breeze and a rough sea. It was three hours before high water. The child had to be taken to a hospital on the mainland, so the life-boat continued the journey with the patient and doctor to Rossaveel, and returned to her station at 8.15 p.m..
