Great Yarmouth and Gorleston. — At 7.56 on the morning of the 17th of June, 1948, the Gorleston coastguard tele- phoned that three men in a shrimp boat, two miles to the south-south-west, were showing a flag on a pole and appar- ently needed help. The motor life- boat Louise Stephens was launched at 8.10, in a moderate south-south-west breeze with a moderate swell, and found the shrimp boat, the Pride, of Great Yarmouth, three miles to the south-east.

Her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her to harbour, moored her in the river, and arrived back at her station at 8.55.—Rewards, £9. 10*. 6d..
