G. V. H.

Cr0mer, Norfolk.—The motor life-boat H. F. Bailey was launched at 7.20 A.M.

on the 30th May, 1938, after information had been receired from the coast-guard that the fishing boat G. V. H., of Great Yarmouth, was in difficulties three to four miles from the look-out at Haisborough. The weather was squally, with a strong W.S.W. breeze and a moderate sea. When the lifeboat reached the fishing boat at 9.15 A.M. she was four miles east of Palling, with her engine broken down, and anchor lost. Her crew of two asked to be towed to Yarmouth and this the life-boat did. Thanks were expressed by the rescued men and their wives.—• Rewards, £13 2*. 6d..
