JULY 26TH. - TOBERMORY, ARGYLLSHIRE.

A lady doctor, a visitor on holiday, developed acute appendicitis. An immediate operation was necessary. No other boat was available and the local doctor asked the life-boat to take her to the mainland. The sea was calm, with a light south-west wind.

The motor life-boat Sir Arthur Rose left her moorings at 10.40 and took the patient, on a stretcher, and a nurse to Oban, which was reached at 2.30 next morning. The life-boat arrived back at six o’clock. A donation was received to cover the expenses. - Rewards, £5..
