A CHEAP BARGAIN
USE OP A LIFEBOAT Scotland has just paid the National Lifeboat Institution £l3 2s 6d for the use of one of its motor lifeboats. It was a cheap bargain, for the £l3 2s 6d saved a man's life. A message was received in the Shetlands that a man on the island of Papa Stour would be dead next clay unless an operation was performed. A surgeon, a doctor, and a nurse were found eager to go, but in the storm seas no ordinary boat could have reached the island, or put out from the port of Aith. The lifeboat was summoned, and it took the volunteers to the island in two hours. The operation was performed and the man's life was saved. That it how it came about thai the Health Department of Scotland paid for a lifeboat.
