PATIENT LANDED At 5 p.m. on 3Oth January, 1965, the local doctor asked the honorary secretary for the use of the life-boat to convey a patient who was seriously ill to Rossaveel on the mainland as the weather was unsuitable for the small boats available. At 6 p.m. the life-boat John R. Webb, on temporary duty at the station, proceeded to Rossaveel with the doctor and patient on board. There was an easterly gale and a rough sea. It was one and a half hours after high water. The patient was landed at Rossaveel and conveyed by ambulance to hospital. The life-boat returned to her station at 10 o'clock..
