HAD WOUNDED HAND At 2.42 p.m. on 26th December, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that one of the personnel of Radio Caroline, a wireless transmitting station 3J miles off Ramsey, had a deep wound on his right hand and needed medical attention. The life-boat Thomas Corbett was launched at 2.45 in a strong southwesterly wind and a rough sea. It was three hours after low water. The injured man was taken aboard and on arrival at Ramsey he was taken to Ramsey hospital.

The life-boat reached her station at 4.15.
