Lerwick, Shetlands - At 3.36 a.m. on 8th January, 1967, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the Danish fishing vessel Jane Harbo had requested urgent medical assistance for a member of her crew who had been involved in an accident and was seriously injured. The life-boat Claud Cecil Staniforth was launched at 4.30 with a doctor on board. There was a light north easterly wind and a choppy sea. It was three hours after high water. She came up with the motor fishing vessel Jane Harbo at 8.5 and put the doctor and the life-boat first aid man aboard. The life-boat escorted the fishing vessel to Lerwick and the injured man was landed at the wharf. He was transferred to a waiting ambulance and taken to hospital. The life-boat returned to her station at noon. A letter of appreciation was received by the life-boat crew from the Danish Ambassador..
