INJURED MAN LANDED FROM GERMAN TRAWLER Wick, Caithness-shire. At 10.45 p.m.

on Tuesday the 13th of August, 1963, the Wick coastguard told the honorary secretary that the German trawler Hansaet of Hamburg had broken down five miles north-east of Noss Head and had an injured man on board who required hospital treatment. At 11.23 the life-boat City of Edinburgh was launched in a gentle north-north-easterly wind and calm sea. It was four hours after high water. The life-boat took the injured man from the trawler and landed him at Wick where an ambulance was waiting. The life-boat returned to her station at 1.35 a.m..
