SICK MAN FROM LIGHTVESSEL BROUGHT ASHORE The Mumbles, Glamorganshire. At 4.30 on the afternoon of the 10th February, 1963, the honorary secretary received a telephone message from the Superintendent of Trinity House, Swansea, asking for a life-boat to take a doctor to the Scarweather lightvessel, where a man was suffering from severe headaches. The life-boat William Gammon —Manchester and District XXX, was launched at 4.57 in a strong southeasterly breeze and a rough sea. The tide was flooding. The doctor was put aboard the lightvessel and found the seaman in a poor condition. The seaman was brought ashore, and the life-boat reached her station at 7.20..
