Penlee, Cornwall. At eight o'clock on the morning of the 19th of July, 1959, the life-boat W and S was launched at the request of the port medical officer to take him to the s.s. Lindi of Antwerp, as one of her crew was very ill. There was a moderate swell and a light south- westerly breeze. The tide was ebbing.

The life-boat embarked the doctor at Newlyn and met the steamer near Wolf Rock at 10.10. The sick man was transferred to the life-boat, which landed him at Newlyn at 12.30 and then returned to her station, arriving at 1.15.

Rewards to the crew, £11 4s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 8s..
