Galway Bay - At n.o a.m. on 22nd August, 1967, the honorary secretary was informed that a 17-year-old boy visiting Inishere island had received a head injury and the doctor from Kilroann was needed to treat him. The life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson, with the doctor on board, slipped her moorings at 11.45 in a gentle easterly breeze and a smooth sea. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat proceeded to Inishere and the doctor was put ashore. The life-boat returned to her station at 3.45 p.m..
