Iverna

The Motor Life-boat H. F. Bailey was launched at 4.25 P.M.

on the 7th August, on receipt of a telephone message from Overstrand, through the Coastguard, that a small vessel had been disabled off Overstrand with a broken shaft, and required help to get to Yarmouth. She was the motor trawler Iverna, of Grimsby, and was about two miles E.S.E. of Cromer, with three persons aboard, including her owner, who was ill. A rope was got aboard the Iverna, and the Life-boat towed her into Yarmouth. The Life- boat was out for eleven hours on this service. The weather was fine and the sea smooth.—-Property Salvage Case..
