DOCTOR TO A SCALDED MAN Donaghadee, Co. Down.—At 2.30 in the afternoon of February 12th, 1947, a firm of shipping agents in Belfast tele- phoned requesting the help of the life- boat to take a doctor out to a vessel at anchor in Carrick Roads, Belfast Lough, as they were unable to get a tug. A strong south-east wind was blowing with a heavy sea, and it was snowing. The motor life-boat B.A.S.P., on temporary duty at the station in place of the Civil Service No. 5, was launched at 2.50.

She picked up a doctor at Bangor, took him to the S.S. Sylvqfield, of New- castle, which had on board a badly scalded man, and brought him back to Bangor. She arrived at her station again at 7.50 that evening. The cost of the service was paid by the owners of the steamer.—Rewards, £14 4s..
