At 6.15 P.M.

on the 4th October, it was reported to the Coxswain of the No. 1 Life-boat Alfred Carry, that a small boat was driving south in front of the town with two persons on board. As a fresh easterly wind was blowing and there was too much sea for the boat to get ashore, the Life-boat was launched and picked up the boat about half a mile to the south of the harbour. The two men in her were rescued and the boat towed into safety. She was a small fishing- boat named the Boy Arthur, belonging to Kessingland. When the men were rescued the boat was half-filled with water, and the men were exhausted from baling, and, had it not been for the timely assistance of the Life-boat, they would in all probability have lost their lives..
