Women's Bravery
On the East Coast of England. a call was sent out from the lifeboats for a doctor to join them in their search for some men who were reported clinging to a lifeboat out at sea. A woman, Dr. Norah Atcheson, promptly answered the call. In dangerous seas, and in constant danger of striking a mine, they searched for four hours. All they found was an empty boat and a number of sailors’ hats floating in the sea. The crew cheered this plucky woman when they returned from their quest. All she was afraid of was being sea-sick!
