Caister, Norfolk. — At 8.35 in the morning of the 3rd of April, 1949, the Winterton coastguard telephoned that a fishing boat half a mile south-east of Winterton was flying a distress signal.

The life-boat Jose Neville was launched at 8.50 in a fresh south-westerly wind with a choppy sea, and found the motor fishing boat Beaty, of Yarmouth, with two men on board, at anchor with her engine broken down. She gave the men rum and chocolate, and towed their boat to Great Yarmouth, arriving at 11.30. The life-boat reached her station again at 12.25 that afternoon.— Rewards, £16 5*. 6d..
