Newcastle, Co. Down.—At 11.40 on the night of the 3rd of October, 1951, the head keeper of Haulbowline Light- house telephoned that one of the keepers was very ill. No other suit- able boat was available, and at mid- night the life-boat William and Laura was launched, in calm weather. She reached the lighthouse at 2.40 and took the sick man aboard. In the mean- time arrangements had been made for a doctor and an ambulance to be waiting. The life-boat landed the man on Greencastle pier at 3.10 and reached her station again at 6.30.— Rewards, £22 5s. 6d. No expense to the Institution..
