Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.

—The motor life-boat John and Mary Meiklam of Gladswood was launched at 12.56 A.M. on the 20th May in response to signals from the St.

Nicholas light-vessel which had been seen by the coastguard. A light S.S.E. breeze was blowing, with a swell on the sands, and the weather was foggy. The light-vessel reported that a vessel was aground to the N.E. by E., and the life-boat found the motor vessel Ferrocrete, of London, aground on Scroby Sands, with a crew of five aboard. The master decided to try and get oft on the flood tide, and the life-boat stood by. The Ferrocrete refloated unaided and went into Yarmouth Roads. The life-boat returned to her station at 5.30 A.M.—Rewards, £19 6s..
