Cromer, Norfolk.—A wireless message sent out by the motor vessel Fosna, of Bergen, that she wished to land a sick man at Cromer at 3 P.M., was passed to the life-boat station, through Mablethorpe and the coastguards, at 1.55 P.M.

on the 20th March, 1939. The motor life-boat Harriot Dixon was launched at 2.55 P.M. in a smooth sea with a moderate W.N.W. wind. Commander J. M. Upton, the district inspector, Mr.

E. P. Hansell, the honorary secretary, Dr. D. Vaughan, and an ambulance man went out. The life-boat reached the Fosna at about 3.15 P.M., and found that the man was able to get aboard her without help. He was landed at 3.40 P.M., and taken to the hospital.
