MARCH 1ST. - WALMER, KENT. At 5 P.M. a message was received from Doctor Hall, the port medical officer, that a member of the Norwegian steamer Primo, of Oslo, had fractured his leg. The vessel was about two miles E.S.E. from the life-boat station. A strong N.N.E. wind was blowing and the seas were too heavy for motor boats to put off from the beach. At 5.25 P.M. the motor life-boat Charles Dibdin (Civil Service No. 2) was launched with the doctor on board.

She went to the Primo, took off the injured man and brought him ashore, where he was sent, to hospital. She returned to her station at 7.30 P.M. - Rewards, £29 0S. 6d.
