The S.S. Fulham II

Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.— At 6.45 in the evening of the 10th of December, 1948, the police telephoned that North Foreland radio station had reported the s.s. Fulham II, of London, one mile north-east of Britannia Pier, with a badly injured man on board.

The motor life-boat Louise Stephens embarked a doctor at 7.30, and was launched in a strong south-south-east breeze with a rough sea. She put the doctor on board and later took him and the injured man to Great Yar- mouth, reaching her station again at 9 o'clock. The injured man thanked the crew.—Rewards, £11 15s..
