MAN COLLAPSED At 6.46 p.m. on 9th September, 1964, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a boat had overturned in moderate seas and a fresh south-westerly breeze off Bowleaze cove. At 7.5 the lifeboat Frank Spiller Locke put out on a flooding tide to assist but before reaching this boat the two occupants righted her and made for the shore. While still at sea a helicopter radioed the life-boat to report that a small white boat was in trouble in Ringstead bay. The life-boat put into the bay to find that the white boat was out of control with steering trouble, and that one of her two occupants was in a state of collapse. Both men were taken aboard the life-boat and their boat was taken in tow to Weymouth. From there an ambulance took the men to hospital. The life-boat returned to her station at 8.35..
