The S.S. Bluestone

Workington, Cumberland.—At noon on the 13th of September, 1952, a radio signal was received from the S.S. Blue- stone, of London, which was anchored off Workington that a member of her crew needed medical help. The life- boat N.T. was launched at 1.35 in a calm sea, with a light north-easterly breeze blowing, with the port medical officer aboard. He decided to bring the man ashore for conveyance to hospital, and the life-boat landed him at 3.5.—Rewards, £3 15*..
