DECEMBER 14TH. - STORNOWAY, ISLAND OF’ LEWIS. Shortly after midnight the naval base reported that H.M. L.C.T. 398, a tank landing craft, was ashore on the S.E. corner of Goat Island in Stornoway Harbour, and that her crew of fifteen had landed on the island and were in need of immediate help. As a strong southerly gale was blowing, with a rough sea, and no small boat could go out, the motor life-boat William and Harriot was launched at 1.35 A.M., taking a rowing boat in tow. A few minutes later she reached the lee of the island, sent the rowing boat to the beach, rescued the men, and returned to her station at 3.15 A.M. - Rewards, £9 7s. 6d.
