FEBRUARY 6TH. - TORBAY, DEVON. At eleven in the morning a message from a doctor, through a local shipping agent, asked for the services of the life-boat to land a man who had been seriously injured on board the Swedish steamer Eriksborg, of Landskrona, which was anchored in Torbay. As no other suitable boat was available, and the weather was threatening, the motor life-boat George Shee was launched at 2.25 that afternoon, in a westerly wind, with a heavy swell. She put the doctor on board the steamer, took off the injured man on a stretcher and landed him.

He was then sent by ambulance to the Royal Naval Hospital at Newton Abbot. The lifeboat arrived back at her station at 3.48. A donation was received to cover the expenses.
