MAN WITH INJURED HAND LANDED Boulmer, Northumberland. The Tynemouth coastguard inquired at 10.32 on the evening of Wednesday the 18th September, 1963, if it was possible to launch the Boulmer life-boat to land an injured man from the 25-ton fishing boat Morning Star. There was some doubt whether the Amble life-boat would be able to launch to his assistance owing to the state of the tide. The honorary secretary confirmed with the coxwain that the Boulmer boat could be launched, and at 10.32 the maroons to assemble the crew were fired. The life-boat Dorothy and Robert Hardcastle was launched at 10.55 and steamed to the vessel then lying a mile east of Boulmer, took off a man with an injured hand and landed him at Boulmer. A doctor and an ambulance were waiting, and after receiving attention the man was transferred to Newcastle Infirmary. It was low water and the weather was bright and clear with light airs from the northeast and a slight sea. Owing to the state of the tide it was decided to anchor the life-boat in Boulmer harbour, where she was left ready for service. She was rehoused at five o'clock the next morning..
