The S.S. Second

Ramsey, Isle of Man.—At one o'clock on the afternoon of the 28th of October, 1952, the life-boat Thomas Corbett was launched on exercise in a heavy sea, with a south-westerly gale blow- ing. At two o'clock the coastguard signalled her that a man had been injured on board the S.S. Second, of Belfast, which was anchored one and a half miles east-north-east of Queens Pier. The life-boat made for the Second at once, landed the man, took him back to the steamer after he had received hospital treatment, and returned to her station, arriving at five o'clock.—Rewards, £15 17s..
