The Queen's Fort

New Brighton, Cheshire.—At 12.15 in the afternoon of the 7th of May, 1948, the Admiralty Salvage Officer tele- phoned that a man on the Queen's Fort, in the river Mersey, had been seriously injured. He asked for the life-boat and a doctor. The No. 2 motor life-boat Edmund and Mary Robinson was launched at 12.30 with a doctor, in a light north-westerly breeze with a slight sea. She took the injured man on board and landed him where an ambulance was waiting. She arrived back at her station at 5.15.—Rewards, £11 6*..
