Glamis

Cromer, Norfolk.—At 9.15 on the night of the 17th of June, 1950, the coastguard reported that the motor vessel Glamis, of Dundee, four miles to the northward, had wirelessed for a doctor. At 9.32, with the honorary secretary, Major E. Peter Hansell and a doctor on board the No. 2 life-boat Harriot Dixon was launched in a slight swell with a light westerly breeze blowing. She came up with the vessel one mile north of Cromer. The doctor boarded her and found a sick man needing hospital treatment. The life- boat therefore landed the patient, and reached her station again at 10.40.— Rewards, £14 15s..
