DOCTOR, AMBULANCE MEN AND PILOT TAKEN OUT St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At 5.39 on the evening of the 20th May, 1963, Niton radio station informed the honorary secretary that a seaman on board the motor vessel Registan of London had been seriously injured and needed medical attention. The vessel was making for Guernsey. The life-boat Lloyd's, on temporary duty at the station, put out at 6.15 in a fresh south-westerly breeze and a moderate sea. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat had a doctor, two St. John Ambulance Brigade men and a pilot on board, and she met the Registan at a prearranged rendezvous three miles west of Les Hanois lighthouse. The doctor, the ambulance men and the pilot were put aboard, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 12.5.

In the meantime the Registan continued to the roadstead, where she anchored, and the injured man was taken ashore in a pilot boat. The owners of the Registan made a donation to the Institution's funds..
