Evertsen

Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.

—At 12.42 in the afternoon of the 4th of April, 1948, the Gorleston coastguard reported that the Dutch motor vessel Evertsen, which was off the harbour, had signalled for a doctor. Six minutes later the motor life-boat Louise Stephens was launched with a doctor. A fresh southerly gale was blowing with a rough sea. After the doctor had attended to the sick man the life-boat brought him ashore, and arrived back at her station at 1.39.—Rewards, £11 8*. 6d..
