Lowestoft, Suffolk.—At 4.45 A.M. on the 8th April, 1938, the coastguard reported a small yacht in difficulties.

A strong N.N.E. breeze was blowing, with a heavy sea. The motor life-boat Agnes Cross was launched at 4.55 A.M., and found the sailing and motor yacht Eleanor, of Boston, rolling heavily among the breakers of the inner shoal of Newcombe Sands. The life-boat was manoeuvred alongside and some life-boatmen boarded her. They found that her engine had broken down and one of her anchors had been lost, and that her crew of two men were exhausted by their efforts to keep her from going ashore. The life-boatmen hoisted her remaining anchor and the life-boat towed her into harbour. The lifeboat returned to her station at 6.10 A.M. A letter of thanks and a donation were received from one of the rescued men.—Rewards, £20 18s. 6d..
