The S.S. Holdernore
LANDING INJURED MEN Clovelly, Devon. — At 9.30 in the morning of Christmas Day, 1947, the Hartland Point coastguard reported a wireless message from the S.S. Holder- nore, of Hull, that she wanted to land injured men. With a doctor on board the motor life-boat City of Nottingham was launched at five minutes to eleven in a moderate westerly wind with a moderate sea. She found the steamer five miles west of Hartland Point and put the doctor aboard. Two injured men were then lifted into the life-boat and she brought them ashore, where an ambulance was waiting to take them to Barnstaple Infirmary. The life-boat reached her station again at one o'clock, that afternoon.—Rewards, £21 3*. 6d..
