Sally

Wells, Norfolk.—There was a thick fog in the afternoon of the 28th of January, 1948, and the owner of the local motor fishing boat Sally reported that she was overdue. He asked for the life-boat to search for her, and at 4.55 the Cecil Paine was launched. A light southerly breeze was blowing, and the sea was smooth. An hour later the life-boat found the Sally aground half a mile east-south-east of the harbour bar, refloated her and towed her in, arriving back at her station at 6.35.—Rewards, £18..
