Mallaig, Inverness-shire - At 10.20 a.m. on I2th January, 1967, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a ship was aground at Barony Point, Morvern. The life-boat E. M. M. Gordon Cubbin left her moorings at 10.30 in a fresh north westerly wind and a choppy sea. It was two hours after high water.

She proceeded to the position given and found the m.v. Ole Sif, of Copenhagen, aground. The master of the vessel informed the coxswain that no assistance was required, but the coastguard advised the life-boat to stand by the vessel. Shestood by until after low water and then, as the ship was in no immediate danger, proceeded to Oban. The life-boat returned to the Ole Sif the next morning and stood by until she refloated. A tug arrived at 8.25 a.m. and the vessel refloated on the rising tide forty minutes later. The tug escorted the vessel to the Clyde, and the life-boat returned to her station at 2.35 p.m. having been at sea for 29 hours..
