Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.

—At 9.12 in the morning, on the 19th of April, 1950, the coastguard telephoned that a fishing boat was flying a distress signal. Accordingly at 9.15 the life- boat Louise Stephens was launched.

The sea was smooth, with a fresh northerly breeze blowing. She came up with the fishing boat Cadj, of Great Yarmouth, with a crew of two, one and a half miles to the southward. Her engine had broken down; and, at the skipper's request, the life-boat towed her to harbour. She arrived back at her station at 10.8.—Rewards, £8 15s..
