Caister, Norfolk. —At 11.14 in the afternoon, on the 17th of March, 1951, a resident reported that a ship was on the Barber Sands. At 1.30 the life- boat Jose Neville was launched in a smooth sea with a moderate south- westerly breeze blowing and fog. She.

found the S.S. Southport, of Glasgow, bound for Hull loaded with scrap, and with a crew of eleven. Two life-boat- men boarded her and gave the master advice; and the life-boat then laid out an anchor. The Southport refloated and the life-boat guided her clear of the sands. She then returned to her station, arriving at 4.40.—Property Salvage Case..
