MAY 18TH. - GALWAY BAY. During the afternoon an urgent request for the help of the life-boat was received from a doctor to take him to a serious pneumonia case on Inisheer Island. No other boat was available, and at 4.50 the motor life-boat K.E.C.F. was launched. A strong north-easterly wind was blowing and the sea was rough. The life-boat took the doctor to the island and brought him back, returning to her station at 9.15. - Rewards, £13 16s. Repaid to the Institution.
