MAN TAKEN TO HOSPITAL At 3.15 p.m. on I9th November, 1965, a local doctor asked the honorary secretary for the services of the life-boat to take a man with a haemorrhage to the mainland for hospital treatment. The life-boat Mary Stanford, which was on temporary duty at the station, put out at 3.25 in a fresh north-easterly breeze and a slight swell. It was three hours after high water. The life-boat landed the patient at Rossaveel and was back at her station at 7.30 p.m..
