Caister, Norfolk.—At 10.10 on the night of the 6th of May, 1951, a resident of Newport Hemsby telephoned that a ship was ashore off Newport Hemsby.

So at 10.30 the life-boat Jose Neville was launched in a choppy sea, with a fresh north-easterly breeze blowing and fog.

She found tho motor barge Glenway, of Rochester, laden with shingle. The Winterton coastguard life-saving crew had fired a line to her from shore, but her crew of two preferred to remain aboard. The life-boat stood by for five hours and, as the barge was in no immediate danger, returned to her station, arriving at 5.30 the next morn- ing.—Rewards, £22 Si..
