Cromer, Norfolk.—About 9.30 on the morning of the 9th of January, 1951, the coastguard reported a small vessel, anchored to the north-east of Cromer, which appeared to have engine trouble.

She was showing no distress signals, but was kept under observation; and at 10.0 she anchored east of the pier.

At 10.45 she made a signal which could not be read; and at 11.20 the No. 1 life-boat Henry Blogg was launched in a moderate westerly bree/e and mod- erate swell. She found the motor cabin cruiser Dimcyl, of Lowestoft, in need of fuel. The life-boat obtained a supply for her and then returned to her station, arriving at 12.40—Rewards, £10 17*.
