APRIL 26TH. - AITH, SHETLANDS. At 3.30 in the afternoon a doctor telephoned that on the previous afternoon a man on Papa Stour had fallen down the cliffs and fractured a thigh. It was urgent that the man should be brought to Lerwick Hospital, but a northnorth- east gale was blowing, with snow showers, and the sea was heavy. No ordinary boat could attempt the passage. It was agreed that the motor life-boat, The Rankin, should be used, and, with the doctor on board, she set out at five o’clock for Papa Stour.

She got back to Aith, with the injured man, at nine o’clock, and the man was sent to the hospital. - Rewards, £7 3s. 9d. Repaid to the Institution..
