At 9 A.M. on the 27th February, the coastguard reported that a sailing trawler in Yarmouth roads had had her sails carried away, and was flying a distress signal. A fresh S.S.E. gale was blowing, and the sea was very rough on the bar and in the roadstead.

The trawler was the Mirador, of Rams- gate, bound from the Lowestoft fishing grounds. She had dropped anchor, but it was not holding, and she was driving towards Britannia pier. The motor life-boat John and Mary Meiklam of Gladswood was launched at 9.7 A.M., and reached the trawler at the same time as a tug. The tug took her in tow and the life-boat escorted them safely into harbour. She returned to her station at 11 A.M.—Rewards, £14 13s..
