NOVEMBER 13TH. - TOBERMORY, ARGYLLSHIRE.

At 10.15 in the morning it was learned from the local doctor that a woman suffering from severe gastric troublemust be taken at once to hospital. As no steamer would run for two days the motor life-boat Sir Arthur Rose left at 11.5 with the patient and a nurse on board. She reached Oban at two o’clock and the woman was taken to hospital by motor ambulance. The nurse returned with the life-boat which left Oban at 3.10 and reached Tobermory at 6.5. The patient had been operated on by the time the life-boat got back, and no doubt her life was saved by the promptitude with which she was conveyed to hospital. She made a donation to the funds of the Institution. - Rewards, £5 14s..
