S.S. Dentonia Park
SEPTEMBER 14TH. - WALMER, KENT.
At seven in the evening a message was received that the S.S. Dentonia Park needed medical aid. The pilot aboard had collapsed.
A south wind was blowing, with driving rain and a rough sea-too rough for ordinary shore-boats - and the motor life-boat Langham, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at eight o’clock. She took out a doctor and a relief pilot, but the original pilot was too ill to be brought ashore. The life-boat suffered slight damage. She arrived back at her station at ten o’clock. - Rewards, £20 14s..
