Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.

—At 6.35 P.M. on the llth March the coastguard reported that rockets had been fired by the Cockle light-vessel. A strong N.E. breeze was blowing, with a very heavy sea. At 7.30 P.M. the motor life-boat John and Mary Meik- lam of Gladswood put out. She found that one of the crew of the light-vessel had been badly hurt. In spite of the heavy sea, he was got safely to the life- boat. She made full speed, at the same time signalling for an ambulance.

When she arrived the injured man was taken at once to hospital. The life- boat reached her moorings again at 11 P.M.—Rewards, £28 19s..
