NOVEMBER 29TH. - WICK, CAITHNESSSHIRE.

About ten in the morning a doctor telephoned that he had heard from Stroma Island that a woman on the island had broken a leg. There was no doctor or nurse on the island, and the heavy westerly sea running in the Pentland Firth prevented any boat from the island crossing to the mainland. He asked for the life-boat, and at eleven o’clock the motor life-boat City of Edinburgh was launched, and made for Stroma, taking with her the doctor and the woman’s husband, who was on the mainland. She returned to Wick with the injured woman at five in the afternoon, and the woman was taken to hospital. The doctor and the husband expressed their thanks and the husband made a donation. - Rewards, £10 8s. 6d. Repaid to the Institution..
