JULY 24TH. - TOBERMORY, HEBRIDES.

After the last boat of the day had left for Oban, a local doctor asked the life-boat to take an urgent surgical case to Oban. He thought that the man would not live until the following day. There was little wind and the sea smooth. At 1.10 in the afternoon the motor life-boat Sir Arthur Rose was launched, embarked the patient and a nurse and reached Oban at five o’clock. The patient was landed and taken to hospital.

The life-boat waited for the nurse, left Oban at 6.35 and reached Tobermory at 10.30 that night. The patient did not recover. A relative made a donation to the Institution.- Rewards, £5 12s. 6d..
