The Bar Light-vessel

LANDING AN INJURED MAN IN A ROUGH SEA New Brighton, Cheshire.—At 8.45 in the morning of the 15th of November, 1947, the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board asked for the life-boat to land the mate of the Bar Light-vessel, who had been severely burned. A strong west-north-west breeze was blowing, with a very rough sea, ajid the weather was too bad,for a Docks Board Boat to put out. The No. 2 motor life-boat Edmund and Mary Robinson left her moorings at 9.10, brought the injured man ashore, and returned to her moor- ings at 1.45 in the afternoon.—Rewards, £14 3s. 6d..
