Article published in 'DOCKS' magazine for September/October 1970: 'On a bitterly cold morning in March (1970) Sergeant Jones stripped off his jacket and went to the assistance of a woman who had been spotted floating on her back in the freezing waters of the East Dock. With considerable difficulty, Sergeant Jones managed to get a lifebelt around the woman and although hampered by the steep walls of the lock, he managed to get her ashore where she later recovered.'
