Donaghadee, Co. Down.—At 2.10 in the morning of the 6th of November, 1951, the agents for the S.S. Caslon, of London, telephoned that the steamer had wirelessed that she had a sick man on board and asked for help. Her master would take her into Belfast Lough. At 2.30 the life-bftat Sir Samuel Kelly was launched. The sea was choppy, with a strong north- easterly breeze blowing. The life-boat came up with the Caslon off Kilroot.

The steamer was under way, but as soon as she had anchored the life-boat went alongside and took the sick man aboard. She landed him at Bangor, where an ambulance was waiting, and returned to her station, arriving at 6.O.—Rewards, £10 105..
