SKIPPER'S BROKEN ARM Ramsey, Isle of Man.—At 3.45 on the morning of the 14th of August, 1947, the coastguard reported that a red flare had been seen about two miles east- north-east of Queen's Pier, and the motor life-boat Lady Harrison was launched at 4.25 in a dead calm. She found the motor fishing boat Capella, with two men on board, three miles east of the life-boat station. The skipper had broken his arm and the other man could not start the engine.

The life-boat towed the Capella to the pier, and when the injured man had been landed the life-boat's mechanic re-started the fishing boat's engine.

She escorted her to the harbour and returned to her station at 5.35.— Rewards, £22 17s..
