Marjellen

Cromer, Norfolk.—-At 6 o'clock in the evening of the 4th of November, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that he thought a yacht was flying distress signals two miles east of the coastguard station, and at 6.25 the No. 1 life-boat Henry Blogg was launched. A light south-south-west breeze was blowing with a slight swell. The life-boat found the yacht Marjellen broken down, with two women and two men on board, took off the women, towed the yacht to a safe anchorage, and arrived back at her station at eight o'clock that night.—Rewards, £15 17s..
