Fishing Boats (1)

Sheringham, Norfolk. —• During the morning of the 6th of February, 1948, as, the weather was getting bad, anxiety was felt for the safety of three local fishing boats which were returning from the whelk grounds, and just after noon the motor life-boat Foresters Centenary was launched. A strong west-north-west breeze was then blow- ing, with a rough sea. She found the three fishing boats two miles to the westward, escorted them home, and arrived back at her station at 12.30.— Rewards, £28 3s. 6d..
