SICK MAN TAKEN OFF TUG Penlee, Cornwall. At 11.30 on the night of the 3rd December, 1962, it was reported that the tug Ocean Bull, which was towing the bow section of a tanker to Bilbao from Glasgow, was approaching Mounts Bay and had a sick man on board. Fifteen minutes later the life-boat Solomon Browne was launched in a fresh southerly breeze, a rough sea and an ebbing tide. She embarked a doctor and a stretcher at Newlyn. The life-boat then made for the tug. She found her seven miles west-north-west of Longships at 2.30 the next morning and put the doctor on board. At 2.45 she took on board the doctor and the patient, who was thought to be suffering from appendicitis, and arrived at Newlyn at 5.5, where an ambulance was waiting. The life-boat remained there because of the weather and was taken back to her station on the 6th..
