DOCTOR'S ASSISTANCE Scarborough, Yorkshire. At 3.45 p.m. on i8th March, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the trawler Loch Eribol of Hull had a badly injured man on board. Her position was then 23 miles east of Scarborough and she was making for Scarborough harbour.

The life-boat J. G. Graves of Sheffield was launched at 4.25 with a doctor on board.

There was a south-easterly wind of near gale force, a rough sea, and it was three hours after low water. The life-boat met the trawler five miles east by north of the castle and the injured man, who had broken his wrist, was transferred to her.

The doctor applied a tourniquet on the way back to harbour as the man was bleeding profusely and the life-boat reached her station at six o'clock. The man was taken by ambulance to hospital..
