Ingerois

Aldeburgh, Suffolk. — At 2.15 in the afternoon of the 29th of June, 1949, the coastguard reported that a vessel, two miles east of Orfordness, and going north, was flying a signal that an acci- dent had occurred and a doctor was required. The life-boat Abdy Beau- clerk was launched at 2.35, with a doctor on board. A north-easterly breeze was blowing, with a moderate swell. The life-boat met the steamer Ingerois, of Lovisa, Finland, put the doctor on board her and then brought ashore the doctor and the seaman, who had serious injuries to the head. She arrived at four o'clock and the man was taken to hospital.—Rewards, £35 3*. 6d..
