St. Mary's, Scilly Isles. At 3 p.m. on 22nd October, 1965, a message was received via Land's End radio from the motor vessel Constance Bowater that she had a seriously ill seaman aboard and requested that he be taken off and sent to hospital. The life-boat Guy and Clare Hunter was launched at 3.40 in a fresh south-westerly breeze and rough seas. It was high water and foggy. She went to a rendezvous point two and a half miles south of Pennis Head. The sick man was transferred to the life-boat which took him to St. Mary's, returning to her station at 6 p.m..
