Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 10.40 on the morning of the 16th of March, 1961, the Trinity House depot informed the honorary secretary that a doctor was needed on board the Helwick lightvessel.

The weather was fair. There was no wind and the sea was smooth. At 10.58 at low water the life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched with a doctor on board.

When she reached the lightvessel the sick man was found to be suffering from a duodenal ulcer. He was taken on board the life-boat, landed at Tenby and taken to hospital at Swansea. The life- boat reached her station at 3.10..
