The steam trawler Apollo of Sandefjord, Norway, was reported ashore on the Middle Barber Sands during thick weather on the 21st January. The No. 1 Life-boat Covent Garden was launched to her assistance and found the vessel riding with her anchors down. The Coxswain asked the master if he required any assistance and he replied that he wished to get into Yarmouth Harbour, as he had been ashore on the Cross Sands and his machinery had broken down. Some of the crew of the Life-boat were placed on board and they succeeded in bringing her into Yarmouth Harbour at 9 P.M.
