JANUARY 18TH. - THE HUMBER, YORKSHIRE.

A messenger came from the signal station at 1.22 in the morning with a message from the Trinity House superintendent at Great Yarmouth : Would the life-boat go to the Humber Lightvessel, eight miles east of Spurn, where there was an injured man ? The motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched, with a doctor on board, at 2.45.

A strong easterly wind was blowing, with a very rough sea. The life-boat went alongside the lightvessel with some difficulty, and put the doctor on board her. She waited, embarked the doctor and the injured man, and made for Grimsby, where the man was sent to hospital. She reached her station again at 9.30 that morning. - Permanent paid crew. Expenses met by the Trinity House..
