APRIL 26TH. - GALWAY BAY. A t 5.30 A.M. the local doctor asked that thelife-boat should take a boy to Galway for an immediate operation. A moderate S.E. wind was blowing and the sea was calm. All the local boats were away fishing. The motor life-boat K.E.C.F. was launched at 6 A.M. and, as no ambulance could be summoned to the nearer coast of Connemara, she took the boy to Galway. On arrival he was at once operated on, and his life saved. The life-boat returned to her station at 5.0 P.M.
