St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At 6.40 p.m. on 8th October, 1963, the Island Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Association asked for the services of the life-boat to attend a woman on the Island of Brechan, west of Sark, who had fallen down the cliffs and required medical attention. He also asked for the launching to be deferred until 7.30 to enable him to obtain the services of the Brechan doctor and assemble medical equipment. The life-boat Euphrosyne Kendal left her moorings at 7.35 in a light north-westerly wind and a calm sea. The tide was flooding.

The injured woman was taken on board and brought to St. Peter Port at 10.35 where an ambulance was waiting to take her to hospital..
