Fleet wood, Lancashire. — At 9.45 on the night of the 17th of January, 1951, the agents for the Swedish steamer Rita telephoned that this ship was lying off the Wyre Light with a badly injured man on board. They asked the life- boat to take out a doctor. A doctor embarked in the life-boat Ann Letitia Russell, which was launched at 10.80 in a rough sea with a strong south- westerly breeze blowing. The doctor went aboard and decided that the man was too badly hurt to be moved; so the second coxswain boarded the Rita and piloted her to Heysham. Here an ambulance was waiting. The life-boat then took the doctor back to Fleetwood and reached her station again at 12.35 the next morning.—Rewards, £1116s..
