HELP FOR DUTCH At 12.5 a.m. on 5th November, 1963, the coastguard informed the superintendent coxswain that the Dutch motor vessel Fokke dejong needed the help of the lifeboat to land a sick man. It was arranged that the life-boat would launch at four o'clock and meet the vessel off Spurn lightvessel. There was a moderate southsouth- easterly breeze with a corresponding sea. The tide was flooding. The lifeboat City of Bradford III was launched at 3.55 and came up with the Fokke dejong half a mile east of Spurn lightvessel. The sick man, a member of a survey team, was transferred to the life-boat and landed at Grimsby at 7.45, where an ambulance was waiting. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 8.30..
