SS Cushag was sold once more, this time to a London broker, from whom she was purchased by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company in May 1920, at a cost of £22,000 (equivalent to £). Small and drawing so little water, she was mostly used for cargo trade in the Island's smaller ports - Port St Mary, Peel, Laxey and Castletown. After over 20 years service with the Company, she was sold to London agents in January 1943, and then went on to Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis for four years. She transferred to Kirkwall in Orkney in 1947. "Cushag"
Ballabeg Ballabeg derives from the Manx which means small homestead; although the spelling is different, it is pronounced approximately the same as the English name. Nearby is the "Ball and Bag", a free house which was built by Sir David Mark Jordan, a Victorian army captain who settled there upon his retirement. It also has Arbory Primary School, serving the villages of Ballabeg and Colby, as well as the outlying areas. The parish church has a large churchyard with many graves dating back at least to the mid-18th century, although there has been a church on the site for much longer.
