JANUARY 25TH. - ARRANMORE, CO.

DONEGAL. Three children were ill with diphtheria and in danger of dying within a few hours if the medicine needed could not be brought to them. There was none on the island. A strong north-north-west gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea, and no ordinary boat could make the passage to the mainland.

At four o’clock the motor life-boat K.T.J.S. was launched, and she brought the doctor to the mainland. There he got the medicine and the life-boat took him back to Arranmore, arriving at 6.30, in time to save the children’s lives. - Rewards, £12 14s. 6d..
