A Boat

Caister, Norfolk.—About 11 o'clock in the morning of the 2nd of May, 1948, four men could be seen standing by a boat on Scroby Sands two and a half miles to the south-east, and at 11.30 the motor life-boat Jose Neville was, launched. A strong north-easterly breeze was blowing with a rough sea and driving rain. She found that the four men, from Great Yarmouth, had been seal hunting. She rescued them and, with their boat in tow, took them to Great Yarmouth. There she landed them at one o'clock in the afternoon, and when the weather had moder- ated she returned to her station, arriving at 7.30 that evening.—Re- wards, £17 15s. 6d..
