ship's bosun injured.

The 500-foot, 12,500-ton, Murmansk-registered refrigerated cargo ship Tambov arrived off the Island's east end at 6 a.m. yesterday morning, but could not off load the injured man on to a waiting pilot boat due to stormy seas.

Instead it entered sheltered St. George's Harbour and transferred the sick man to a waiting ambulance at Ordnance Island.

The crewman, who had seriously injured his leg and back in a fall on Sunday night, was rushed to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital where he is expected to remain for some time.

Meyer Agencies' spokesman Capt. John Moore refused to give The Royal Gazette the name of the injured crewman therefore this paper was unable to check his medical condition.

The ship was making its way across the Atlantic from Houston, Texas to St.

Petersburg in Russia with a cargo of frozen beef when the accident occurred.

SHIPPING SHI POLICE OFFICER INJURED IN VIOLENT ARREST CRM Police officer injured in violent arrest A Task Force officer was treated for injuries at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital after the arrest of a violent bottle thrower.

Task Force officers were on patrol at 9.25 p.m. on Sunday at Lighthouse Hill Road in St. George's when they noticed a man, wearing dark clothing and a hood hidden, in the bushes on an embankment.

As they watched him, he threw a bottle at another group of Police officers who were in a nearby bus turnaround.

As he went to throw a second bottle, the officers approached him from behind and grabbed his arm -- preventing him from doing so.

The man violently resisted the officers and had to be restrained. Once he was handcuffed he tried to flee, but was quickly apprehended and taken to Hamilton Police Station.

As a result of his violent behaviour, a Task Force officer suffered bruises, cuts and serious lacerations to the side of his face and was taken to the hospital for treatment before returning to duty.

LATE FERRY MAKES WEST END TRIAL RUN TRA Late ferry makes West End trial run Marine & Ports have launched a special late ferry service to the West End on a two-week trial basis.

Regular ferry users appealed to the Government department to consider adding the late run for commuters who wanted to use the public transport to get home, but needed a later departure time.

And as of last night, a 6 p.m. service has been launched from Hamilton.

The ferry arrives at Somerset Bridge at 6.30 p.m., Cavello Bay at 6.45 p.m.

and Watford Bridge at 6.55 p.m. before heading back to Hamilton where it arrives at 7.25 p.m.

The ferry will run for two weeks when a decision will be made on whether to continue it or not -- depending on usage.
