Eastbourne, Sussex.—At 7.42 on the morning of the 28th of August, 1956, the coastguard reported that the tanker Marathon, of Oslo, had a man on board suffering from stomach pains. At 8.4 the life-boat Beryl Tollemache was launched. The sea was rough, and there was a fresh south-south-westerly wind blowing, with rain squalls. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat reached the tanker three miles south of Beachy Head, and the sick man was taken on board. She returned to her station at 9.30, where the man was taken to hospital.—Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £15 165..
