Lowestoft, Suffolk. — At 9.59 on the night of the 16th of June, 1948, the coastguard reported that a fishing boat, with a rope round her propeller, was burning oily rags half a mile off Corton beach. The motor life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 10.10 in a light westerly breeze with a calm sea, and found the local fishing boat Kestrel, with one man on board, one mile east of Corton village.

The life-boat towed the boat to the harbour and arrived back at her station at 11.40.—Rewards, £5 5s..
