On the morning of the 1st December rockets were fired from the Royal Sovereign Light-vessel. The Life-boat put off, and on reaching the light-ship found that one of her crew had fallen from the shrouds attached to the shaft on which the light revolves, a height of 35 feet, and had been seriously injured. He was taken into the Life-boat, and on reaching the shore medical attendance was obtained and he was taken to the Princess Alice Hospital..
