St. David's, Pembrokeshire. At 8.40 a.m. on 27th September, 1965, the coxswain received a message from Trinity House asking if he would take off a badly burnt man from the South Bishop lighthouse in his own boat. On reaching the boathouse the coxswain decided that as there was an exceptionally strong flood tide the man could be brought ashore quicker and more comfortably in the life-boat. So at 9.30 the life-boat Joseph Soar (Civil Service No. 34) was launched in a light south-westerly wind with a doctor on board. The man, a mechanic, had burns to the face, arm and chest. He was taken on board the lifeboat with another mechanic who was due to leave the lighthouse. Both men were landed, the injured man being taken to hospital. The life-boat reached her station at n a.m..
