Lieutenant Richardson threw off his coat and seaboots and dived clothed into the sea and swam to the man, whom he tried to tow to the nearest lifebuoy.

Rescuer Swept Away Unable to do so, he swam the buoy, and bringing it back to the seaman, placed it under his shoulders.'
By this time a boat was lower- ed, and with the aid of a search light, the seaman was picked up.
While getting the man into the boat, Lieutenant Richardson lost hold of the lifebuoy and was him- self swept away in the darkness. It was ten minutes later when he was found in an exhausted condition, half-a-mile away from the ship.
