The Ukranian Cargo Ship Kaptain Dzhurashevich

International assistance from Westcountry lifeboat Penlee's relief Arun class A.J.R. and L.G. Uridge is pictured with two casualties, dealt with in a two-week period.

The lifeboat is pictured preparing to take an injured man off a120ft Spanish trawler in the sheltered waters of Mounts Bay. The man was believed to have a broken rib and two doctors went out to the casualty.
