Humber, Yorkshire.—At 10.8 oil the morning of the 1st of March, 1953, the Spurn coastguard telephoned that the master of the Humber lightship had requested the help of the life-boat to land a sick man. The life-boat City of Bradford II was launched at 10.30 in a slight sea with a south-easterly breeze blowing, and went to the lightship. After the sick man had been taken aboard, the life-boat made for Grimsby, where an ambulance was waiting. The life-boat reached her station again at 3.15 in the afternoon.

The expenses were refunded to the Institution by Trinity House.—Perm- anent Paid Crew..
