Portrush, Co. Antrim. At 1.10 on the afternoon of the 17th of October, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a message had been received from the German trawler Schell-Ficher. This stated that a mem- mer of her crew needed medical attention and ought to be landed. The trawler was expected off Portrush at 6.30, and at 5.50 the life-boat Lady Scott (Civil Service No. 4) was launched at low water in squally conditions. A northerly wind was gusting from fresh to gale force, and there was a moderate sea. The life-boat met the trawler, embarked the sick man and brought him ashore. She reached her station at 6.35. Rewards to the crew, £8 15s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
