St. Gowan Lightvessel
Tenby, Pembrokeshire.—At 11.35 on the morning of the 22nd of March, 1956, the Superintendent of Trinity House at Swansea asked if the life- boat would land a sick man from the St. Gowan lightvessel. At 11.50 the life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched, with the second coxswain in charge. There was a rough sea, a strong south-easterly wind was blow- ing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat took on board the patient, wirelessed for a doctor and ambulance to meet her at Tenby, and landed the man at 4.15. The man's life was saved.—Rewards to the crew, £16; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 13s. Refunded to the Institution by Trinity House..
