On July zyth. an American air ambulance struck the cliffs of the Mull of Galloway and crashed on the shore. She was going to America, by way of Prestwick, and she had wounded soldiers from Normandy and nurses on board.

The first to come to her help was the Portpatrick life-boat. Her crew wirelessed for a doctor and gave aid to the one man still alive of the 22 men and women on board. Then, as it was impossible to move the bodies by land, she took them away by sea..
