Berwick-on-Tweed, Northumberland.

—At 9.10 on the evening of the 20th of July, 1955, the coastguard rang up to say that the S.S. Corfield, of London, needed a doctor to attend a sick man.

As no other boat was available, the life-boat J. and W. was launched with a doctor at 9.35. The sea was slight, there was a light south-westerly breeze, and the tide was ebbing. The life- boat came up with the steamer off the pier, took on board the sick man, and landed him at her station, where an ambulance was waiting, at 10.45.— Rewards to the crew, £8; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
