Sheringham, Norfolk. — About 9 o'clock in the morning of the 22nd of April, 1949, local fishing boats were overtaken by bad weather. Some reached the shore with difficulty.

Three were still at sea, and the life- boat Foresters Centenary was launched at 9.50. A strong north-westerly breeze was then blowing, and the sea was rough. The life-boat escorted in one of the boats, put out again to search for the other two, and found one of them broken down and in tow of the other. They were a mile east of the life-boat station. The life-boat took over the tow, put a man on board the broken-down boat and made for the shore, the other boat going under her escort. When they were near enough for the broken-down boat to row ashore she cast off the tow and returned to her station, arriving at 11.5.—Rewards, £21..
