SICK MEMBER OF LIGHTVESSEL'S CREW SAVED Penlee, Cornwall. At 2.30 on the afternoon of the 25th June, 1963, the coastguard asked the honorary secretary if the life-boat could take a sick man from the Seven Stones lightvessel.

The life-boat Solomon Browne was launched at 4.20 in a fresh southwesterly breeze and a rough sea with a doctor on board. It was one hour after low water. The life-boat made for the lightvessel and took the sick man aboard. She arrived at Newlyn at 9.50, when the sick man and the doctor were landed. The life-boat remained at Newlyn for the night and reached her station at ten o'clock the next morning..
