The no. 2 lifeboat William Henry and Mary King was launched at midnight with a doctor aboard. There was a south south westerly breeze and a moderate sea. The tide was ebbing. The Life-boat met the fishing vessel Karin Hoegh three miles north north east of the Haisbro lightvessel and took the sick man on board. The sick man, who was the skipper, was landed at Cromer at 8.20 a.m. where an ambulance was waiting to take him to hospital..
