MAY 3RD. - WALMER, KENT. At 1.30 in the morning a doctor was needed on board the S.S. Empire Castle, of Belfast. A moderate north-easterly gale was blowing and the sea was rough. It was too rough for any shoreboat to put out, and at two o’clock the motor life-boat Charles Dibdin (Civil Service No. 2) was launched with a doctor on board. She found a seaman with appendicitis. He was lowered into the life-boat on a stretcher, and she landed him at 3.45. - Rewards, £17 11s..
