Switha
Cromer, Norfolk. — At 2.33 in the afternoon of the 23rd of April, 1948, the coastguard telephoned that a vessel at anchor one mile north by west from Cromer Lookout had hoisted a signal for help, and the No. 1 motor life-boat Henry Blogg was launched at three o'clock, in a light south-east wind with a slight swell. She found the motor launch Sivitha, of Inverness, with a crew of four on board, and her engine broken down. At her owner's request, the life-boat took her in tow. She made for Wells, asking by wireless for the cox- swain of the Wells life-boat to stand by at the harbour entrance to pilot her in.
She arrived about 6 o'clock, and in his own motor boat the Wells coxswain guided her and the Switha into the har- bour. The life-boat remained at Wells until 7.35 and reached her station again at 9.30 that night. •— Rewards, £24 16*. 6d..
