Eastbourne, Sussex.—At 1.6 in the morning of the 20th of November, 1948, the coastguard telephoned that a man had been badly injured on the Royal Sovereign Lightvessel. After further information had been obtained the motor life-boat Jane Holland was launched at half past two, with a doctor and two police officers on board, in a fresh east-south-easterly breeze with a moderate sea. She put the doctor on board the lightvessel, and later took him off again, and the injured man, and landed them at 5.15.

The injured man was taken to hospital.
