Dunbar, East Lothian. At 7 p.m. on 23rd February, 1966, a newspaper office telephoned the honorary secretary to ask if the Dunbar life-boat Margaret had been launched to the wireless transmitting station Radio Scotland, as they had been informed that a member of the crew needed medical attention. The honorary secretary knew nothing about the situation and telephoned the coastguard but they had no information. At 7.15 another newspaper office informed the honorary secretary that they had heard about the sick man on Radio Scotland. At 7.30 the doctor in Dunbar telephoned the honorary secretary and informed him that he had been speaking to Radio Scotland via a radio link with Stonehaven radio and that there was a man on board the ship who needed medical attention and asked if the life-boat would assist. After consulting with the coastguard the lifeboat was launched at 7.41 in a light westerly breeze and a moderate sea. It was three hours before low water. The honorary secretary was requested by the coxswain at 8.40 to have an ambulance ready as they had taken a sick man on board. The man was safely landed and transferred to hospital. The life-boat returned to her station at 9.10 p.m..
