The steam drifter Brothers, of Lowestoft, stranded on the north part of Corton Sands when bound for the fishing grounds on the £0th May. A fresh breeze was blowing from S.E. with a moderate sea and the weather was hazy. The Coastguard reported the casualty at 3.30 P.M., and within a few minutes the No. 1 Life- boat Mark Lane was launched. She found the vessel had ten persons on board, and the Master requested the Coxswain to stand by as his vessel was bumping heavily. The Life-boat re- mained until 7.10 P.M., when the drifter refloated without assistance, and, as she was only making a little water, she proceeded to the fishing grounds. The Life-boat was towed back to harbour and was ready for service again shortly before 9 P.M..
