Two Fishing Boats

Sheringham, Norfolk. — Two local fishing boats put to sea at 3 A.M. on the 7th August. At 9 A.M. the sea became rough, a fog settled, and a strong N.

breeze sprang up. The new motor lifeboat Foresters Centenary was launched for her first service at 9.45 A.M., and found the boats between Weybourne and Salthouse. Their crews were handed life-belts, and the life-boat stood by them until they had got safely ashore. She returned to her station at 11.30 A.M.—Rewards, £17 15s. 6d..
