Wavell

Lowestoft, Suffolk. — On the night of the llth of November, 1951, the coast- guard reported that a man had seen red flares from a boat about a mile south of the harbour and three hundred yards from the shore, and at 8.30 the life-boat Michael Stephens left her moorings. The sea was moderate, with a moderate south-easterly breeze blowing. The life-boat found the local motor fishing boat Wavell, with a crew of two, broken down and drifting towards the shore. She towed her into the harbour and reached her station again at 9.30.—Rewards, £7 15s..
