Humber, Yorkshire.—At 8.35 on the morning of the 13th of February, 1953, the Spurn Point Coastguard reported that the S.S. Monkton Combe, of Bristol, had been in collision with another vessel, and that the Monkton Combe was trying to beach herself on the Sunk Sands. However, she ran on the Trinity Sands, and the life-boat was not then needed. About 9.45 the coastguard stated that the Monkton Combe had wirelessed that her second engineer had head injuries and was bleeding badly, and at 10.40 the life- boat City of Bradford II was launched, with a doctor on board. There was a moderate north-easterly breeze, with a smooth sea, and she put him aboard the steamer. The life-boat then re- embarked the doctor and the injured man, and wirelessed for an ambulance to meet her at Spurn Point, which she reached at 11.20. At 4.20 she took the man back to his ship and stood by her at high water, which was at five o'clock. The steamer did not need help, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 6.10.—Paid Permanent Crew..
