St. Mary's, Scilly Islands. At 9.15 on the evening of the 29th of May, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a message had been received from Seven Stones lightvessel that the trawler Jose Ramon of San Sebastian was alongside the lightvessel.

The trawler was leaking and needed help. The life-boat C.D.E.C., on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 9.30 in calm weather and a flood tide. Arrangements were made by the local steamship company for two pumps to be obtained from the fire service, and these were transported inthe company's launch Tean, which had a crew of two and firemen on board.

When the life-boat reached her the trawler was leaking badly and her crew of thirteen were baling with buckets. The coxswain put a member of his crew, who was a local Trinity House pilot, aboard, and escorted by the life-boat the Jose Ramon proceeded to St. Mary's under her own power. Soon after she had left the lightvessel she was met by the Tean. Pumping began, and the trawler reached St. Mary's at two o'clock in the morning. Her skipper expressed his thanks for the assistance given. Rewards to the crew, £11 4s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 8s..
