At 10.40 A.M.

on the 2nd August, during a moderate E.N.E. gale with heavy sea, the Coast- guard reported that a disabled shrimp boat was driving ashore about a mile to the southward. The crew of the No. 1 Life-boat Mark Lane were quickly mus- tered and the boat launched. The Life- boat proceeded in tow of a tug until they got into shallow water, where she anchored, and veered down to the craft.

The occupant of the boat being uncon- scious, two of the Life-boat crew jumped into the boat and assisted him into the Life-boat, where restoratives were ap- plied, which happily revived him. The damaged boat was then made fast, and in tow of the tug conveyed to harbour.

This service being performed on a Bank Holiday it was witnessed by a very large number of spectators, who loudly cheered the crew on their return.

The boat was the Lord Clyde, belong- ing to Yarmouth..
