Scene of the Tuscania disaster revisited. Ninety of the survivors sheltered in the little cottage of Robert Morrison, and cared for by the Morrison family. Morrison himself saved the lives of three Americans at great risk to himself. A Red Cross officer said in his official report: "In my opinion he is one of the greatest heroes that I ever heard of". The picture shows Morrison his sister, his aunt, his mother and his grandmother. The boy John Woodrow, was also a valiant worker in the Tuscania disaster. The old grandmother has never been off the island and speaks only Gaelic. She is over ninety years old
