MARCH 31ST. - GALWAY BAY. As a matter of grave urgency the local doctor asked for the services of the life-boat to take two of his patients to the mainland for immediate operations. The weather was fine, with a light south-west wind and a moderate sea, but no other boat was available.

At 6.44 in the evening the motor life-boat City of Bradford I, on temporary duty at the station, set out with the patients, landed them on the mainland and returned to her station at 9.30 that night. As a result of the life-boat’s help the life of one of the patients was saved. - Rewards, £13 2s. 6d..
