The S.S Edwin D. Howard, of Pensacola, U.S.A.
MAY 13TH. - WALMER, KENT. About 4.50 in the afternoon a signal was received from the S.S Edwin D. Howard, of Pensacola, U.S.A., lying in the Downs, that she required a doctor. A moderate north-easterly gale was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Charles Dibdin (Civil Service No. 2), was launched at 5.15 with a doctor. She put him on board the steamer. It was too rough to land anyone on a stretcher, so the doctor operated at once on the seaman, who had a large abscess. The life-boat brought him back, arriving at her station at 7.45. - Rewards, £16 3s. 6d..
