Liberty

Wells, Norfolk.—On the afternoon of the 7th February it was known that one of three local fishing boats which had put out to sea had not returned.

She was the motor boat Liberty, with a crew of three. A strong easterly breeze was blowing. The sea was moderate and getting rough. The motor life-boat Royal Silver Jubilee 1910-1935 was launched at 4.20 P.M., and met the Liberty between three and four miles out. She had been delayed by fouling her propeller. The life-boat escorted her back to harbour, and returned to her station at 5.20 P.M.— Rewards, £15 8s. 6d..
