The small life-boat—the Boys—at Caister, i also did good service on the 29th April.

The iron screw-steamer Lady Flora, of Hull, went ashore amidst the heavy breakers whilst the wind was blowing strong from I the E.N.E. On her showing a signal the life-boat went off to her, and remained by her till the following day, when she returned to her station. The men had some dan- gerous work to get to the steamer amidst the breakers, and one of them was seriously bruised by the oar which he held being violently driven against him and broken by a tremendous wave which dashed over the bow of the boat.
