Humber, Yorkshire. At 9.20 on the morning of the 5th May, 1961, the Humber Conservancy told the cox- swain that a man in the Bull lightvessel had been injured and asked if the life- boat would land him because the weather was too bad for the Conservancy boat to put out. Ten minutes later the life- boat City of Bradford III was launched at high water in a fresh westerly wind and a moderate sea. The life-boat reached the lightvessel at 9.45, took the man on board, and at 10.15 landed him at her station..
