The Humber Lightvessel

Humber, Yorkshire.—At 5.50 on the evening of the 16th of August, 1953, the Mablethorpe coastguard rang up to say that the Superintendent of Trinity House at Great Yarmouth had asked if the life-boat would land an injured man from the Humber light- vessel. At six o'clock the life-boat City of Bradford II was launched in a smooth sea with a light south-westerly breeze blowing. She took the injured man, who had crushed a finger, to Grimsby and reached her station again at 11.30.—Paid Permanent Crew. Expenses refunded to the In- stitution by Trinity House..
