Mallaig, Inverness-shire - At 5.25 p.m. on i6th July, 1967, a message was received that a dinghy was in difficulties in the Sound of Arisaig, off Glenuig. The life-boat E.M.M. Gordon Cubbin slipped her moorings at 5.35 in a fresh south south easterly breeze and a choppy sea.

The tide was ebbing. On reaching the area the life-boat went to Glenuig slipway and took on board two local men who had seen the dinghy. It was later found ashore on the opposite side of the loch with oneof the two men who had been on board beside it. The other man had gone to get help. The dinghy was taken in tow and brought back to Glenuig. The life-boat returned to her moorings at 11.45..
