Onshun of Monrovia, had received severe burns and needed medical attention. There was a strong south-westerly breeze with a very rough sea. The life-boat Beryl Tollemache was launched at 11.30 on a flooding tide with the honorary medical adviser on board. The doctor went aboard the steamer, and in view of the nature of the man's injuries and the prevailing weather conditions, arrangements were made for a helicopter from the R.A.F. station at Tangmere to land both the injured man and the doctor. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 1.40..
