A strong S.W.

gale was blowing on the 20th February with a rough sea, and at about 11 A.M.

a message was received from Cove by telephone that a trawler was in a dangerous position, dragging her anchor.

The crew of the No. 1 Life-boat Arab were at once summoned and the boat proceeded to the trawler, which proved to be the New Boy, of Lowestoft. The Assistant Coxswain boarded the vessel and the master asked that the Life- boat should remain with him until assistance could be obtained to get the vessel into safety. At 1.30 P.M. a tug arrived and towed the trawler, accompanied by the Life-boat, to the town quay..
