TAKEN TO HOSPITAL At 6 p.m. on 23rd December, 1964, the local doctor told the honorary secretary that he had a patient requiring hospital treatment and as no other boat was available requested the use of the life-boat.

The life-boat John R. Webb, on temporary duty at the station, put out at 6.45 with the doctor and patient on board in a fresh north-easterly breeze and poor visibility and made for Rossaveel. The patient and doctor were landed and the life-boat returned to her station at 10.10..
