SICK MAN ON A LIGHT-VESSEL Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.

—At 11.47 in the morning of January 6th, 1947, a message was received through the coastguard from the Trinity House superintendent, that a keeper aboard the Corton Light-vessel was very ill. The superintendent asked that the life-boat should go out as the Trinity House boat could not leave before 4.0 in the afternoon. A south- easterly gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. The motor life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 12.2 P.M., and brought the sick man back to Yar- mouth at 1.25. The cost of the service was paid by Trinity House.—Rewards, £14 15.5. 6d..
