SICK MAN IN TRAWLER At 11.45 a.m. on nth December, 1963,the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the pilot boat was going to land a sick man from the trawler Arctic Cavalier at 1.30 p.m. In view of the weather the life-boat crew assembled and at 1.20 the pilot's office asked the lifeboat to land the man as the weather was too rough for their boat to lay alongside.

There was a near gale from the southeast with a rough sea. It was high water.

The life-boat J. G, Graves of Sheffield set out at i .30 and found the trawler at anchor.

The sick man was transferred to the life-boat which then returned to harbour and landed the man. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 2.35 and was rehoused at four o'clock..
