Sheringham, Norfolk.—On the morning of the 22nd April, 1939, eight of the local fishing boats were at sea. A strong N.W. gale was blowing with a rough sea. The boats were running for the shore, when at 10 A.M. the motor life-boat Foresters Centenary was launched to stand by. All the boats got in unaided except the Reliance II.

She was about a mile and a half to the north. The life-boat escorted her to safety and returned to her station at 10.30 A.M.—Rewards, £17 11*..
