Ramsgate, Kent.—At 5.10 on the afternoon of the 25th of October, 1955, an ex-coxswain reported that he had received a message from Lloyd's agent at Dover that the tanker Nayadis, of London, needed a doctor to attend her chief engineer who had been burnt.

No other boat was available, so at 5.15 the life-boat Michael and Lily Davis put out with a woman doctor on board. The sea was calm, there was a light westerly breeze, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat came up with the tanker near the North Goodwin buoy and put the doctor on board. She treated the injured man and re-embarked in the life-boat, which returned to Ramsgate, arriving at 6.40.—Rewards to the crew, £8 16s.; reward to the helper on the shore, etc., 10s. 6d..
