Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.

—At 10.45 on the night of the 25th of August, 1950, the Gorleston coastguard passed on a message from the British ship Cornea. She had the Dutch yacht Amy II in tow, disabled by an engine breakdown, and leaking; and needed a life-boat to help the yacht into Har- bour. At 11.10 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched in a moderate swell wtih a fresh south-south-westerly breeze. She came up with the yacht three miles east of the Gorton light- vessel; the owner, his wife and threechildren were aboard. A life-boatman was put aboard to help with the pumps and the life-boat then towed her into harbour, and beached her at eleven minutes past one in the morning. Two men were left to bale until the yacht was safe. The life-boat returned to her station and was moored at three o'clock.—Rewards, £9 14s. 6d..
