The S.S. Colonel Crompton

Bridlington, Yorkshire.—At 1.50 in the morning of the 25th of April, 1952, the harbour office reported that the S.S. Colonel Crompton, of London, was making for Bridlington Bay with an injured man and asked that a doctor be sent out to her. No boats were afloat owing to the low tide, and at 2.55 the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield, was launched in a calm sea with a light north-westerly breeze blowing. She took a doctor with her and brought ashore the injured man at 4.5.—Rewards, £9 8s..
