URGENT CASE Valentia, Co. Kerry. At 12.30 a.m. on I2th May, 1964, the local doctor asked the life-boat to take a patient who needed urgent treatment to the county hospital at Tralee. Because of severe weather no small boat could make the passage and at 1.15 the life-boat Rowland Watts went alongside the quay. The patient, a woman, was taken aboard with a nurse and on arrival at the mainland went by ambulance to hospital. There was a southerly gale with a rough sea. The life-boat returned to her station at 3 a.m..
