Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.

—At 3 P.M. on the 28th February the coastguard reported that a steam drifter, in tow of another drifter and a tug, had parted her towing hawser and was drifting rapidly on to North Bank.

She was the Arimithea, of Lowestoft, bound to Yarmouth to be broken up, and there were three men on board. A strong S.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea and snow squalls.

The motor life-boat John and Mary Meiklam of Gladswood was launched at 3.10 P.M., and found the Arimithea aground on North Bank. She anchored and veered down, and the three men jumped on board. Then she hauled off, picked up her anchor and returned to her station, arriving at 4.15 P.M.— Rewards, £14 13s..
