The S.S. Hadiotis

Humber, Yorkshire.—At 9.40 on the morning of the 13th of March, 1955, the Spurn Point coastguard telephoned that the S.S. Hadiotis, of Syra, Greece, which was lying at anchor two miles south of Spurn Point, had signalled that she had a sick steward and needed a doctor. At 10.50 the life-boat City of Bradford III embarked a doctor and was launched in a smooth sea. There was a light north-easterly breeze, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat put the doctor aboard the steamer, and later re-embarked him and took the sick man to Spurn. She reached her station at 12.10.—Paid Permanent Crew..
