Coverack, Cornwall. On the morn- ing of the 5th of August, 1959, a doctor told the honorary secretary that he had learnt from the police that a man was lying injured on the rocks at Lankiddin Cove. The doctor asked for the assis- tance of the life-boat. At 11.45 the life- boat William Taylor of Oldham was launched with the doctor on board in a calm sea. There were light airs and an ebb tide. The life-boat, which had a dinghy in tow, reached the position, and the injured man, who had fractured his thigh, was taken from the rocks to the life-boat in the dinghy. The life- boat then returned to Coverack, arriv- ing at one o'clock. The man was taken by ambulance to hospital. He later sent a letter of appreciation to the Coverack life-boat station and made a gift to the Institution's funds. Rewards to the crew, £7 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 6s..
