The coxswain of Douglas lifeboat, William Curphey, said that the lifeboat station on the corner of the Harris Promenade and Church Road Marina was in the wrong place for launching into stormy waters. Unfortunately, he was proved right. Three men drowned whilst the lifeboat was delayed in going to the rescue of the smack 'Hero' on 13th September 1873. William Curphey resigned as a matter of principle. In our story in Manx, Mnr Toad has given up boating as a waste of time. He's now for the open road in a gypsy caravan - and it seems he expects y Roddan Ushtey and y Kyaghan to go with him.
