INJURED SEAMAN TAKEN OFF MOTOR VESSEL Berwick-upon-Tweed,NorthumberIand.

At eight o'clock on the evening of the 1st October, 1962, a message was received that the motor vessel Corbrae of London was making for Berwick, as a member of her crew had a badly injured leg. There was a light southerly breeze and the sea was smooth. At 9.15 the life-boat William and Mary Durham was launched on the ebbing tide. A doctor had been taken on board, and the Corbrae was met three miles east of Berwick-upon-Tweed, as the draught of the Corbrae, 3000 tons, was too big to permit her to enter the dock. The injured man was taken on board the life-boat and brought ashore. The lifeboat returned to her station at 10.30..
