Caister, Norfolk.—At 6.15 in the evening of the llth of September, 1948, the Great Yarmouth coastguard tele- phoned that a yacht was on the Barber Sands flying her flag upside down, and the motor life-boat Jose Neville was launched at 6.30, in a light south- westerly breeze with a smooth sea.

She found the motor yacht Switha, of Inverness, with four men aboard and her engine broken down. The life-boat towed her to Yarmouth and arrived back at her station at 9.50 that night.— Rewards, £16 5s. 6d..
