Bembridge, Isle of Wight.—At 7.45 on the evening of the llth of September, 1954, the Cowes Marine Superintendent of Trinity House rang up to ask if the life-boat would take a doctor to the Nab lighthouse to attend the assistant keeper. No other boat was available, so at 8.5 the life-boat Jesse Lumb was launched with a doctor on board. The sea was moderate and a fresh westerly breeze was blowing. The life-boat transferred the doctor to the lighthouse and he decided to land the man. The life-boat then took the sick man on board and landed him at Bembridge at 10.35. The Superintendent expressed his thanks.—Rewards, £8 Is. 6d. Re- funded to the Institution by Trinity House..
