JANUARY 19TH. - WALMER, KENT. At 6.30 in the evening the vice-admiral at Dover requested the services of the life-boat to take a doctor to the British steamer Sammax. A north-west gale was blowing, with snow, and the sea was rough. In that weather the lifeboat was the only suitable boat. With a doctor on board - making his second trip in twenty-four hours - the motor lifeboat Charles Dibdin (Civil Service No. 2) was launched at 7.15. She found the vessel at eight o’clock, one and a half miles south-east of the Deal Bank Buoy. The doctor found that the ship’s carpenter, who had been swept along the deck by a mountainous sea, had a compound fracture of the leg. He was lowered in a cradle into the life-boat. The life-boat reached her station again at 9.35 and the injured man was taken to hospital.- Rewards, £33 1s. 6d..
