Dover, Kent.—While on passage on the afternoon of the 12th of October, 1957, from Rowledge to Dover, where she was to be stationed temporarily, the life-boat Cunard received a message on her radio telephone that a member of the crew of the North Goodwin lightvessel was sick and ought to be taken ashore immediately. The life- boat was then off the North Foreland.
