Selsey, Sussex. At 3.15 on the morn- ing of the 6th of December, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a man had collapsed aboard the Owers lightvessel, and that the services of a doctor were required. At 3.40 the life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched into a choppy sea and a moderate south-westerly wind. The tide was half ebb. The life-boat came alongside the lightship at 4.45. The doctor went aboard and treated the sick man, who was then transferred to the life-boat. The life-boat reached her station at 7.30, where the sick man was put into a waiting ambulance..
