Remarkable Feat By 18-Year-old Deckboy

SO OUTSTANDING was a feat of seamanship and endurance of an 18-year-old deckboy named Morrison, of Lewis, after his ship, the Arlington Court, had been torpedoed and sunk in the Atlantic that he has been asked by the Admiralty to attend for an interview carly in the New Year,

Morrison, a slightly-built youth, was the only one of a party of six in a water-logged lifeboat who knew how to set a sail.

He took full charge and, until the lifeboat was picked up six days later, he never left the tiller except when he took a spell at the oars to warm himself.

He made a course with the aid of a small compass, and when the lifeboat was sighted by a Norwegian tanker on the sixth day it was entering a busy shipping lane.

Morrison's family are well known among the shermen of Calbost, in Lewis, for their sklil in seamanship, Morrison said to a News Chronicle reporter: "Shortly after we got into the life boat we saw a submarine pass right below us. The periscope was so close that I could almost have touched it with my hand.

"When I took the oars for a time to get warm I lashed the uller to keep the boat on its.course.
