Cromer, Norfolk.—On receipt of a message from the coastguard that a vessel was at anchor off Cromer, and wanted to land survivors of a sunken boat, the No. 2 motor life-boat Harriot Dixon was launched at 1.10 in the morning of the 1st of April, 1948, in a south-westerly breeze with a moderate swell. About four miles away in a north- easterly direction she found the s.s.

Dynamo and on board her the crew of the speed boat Day II, which had sunk near the Kentish Knock. The life-boat brought them ashore and returned to her station at 2.15.—Rewards, £14 12s..
