Caister, Norfolk.—At 10.0 on the night of the 28th of December, 1951, the life-boat motor mechanic heard a vessel blowing V-signals on her siren, meaning "I require assistance", and five minutes later the Great Yarmouth coastguard reported a red flare off Caister Point. At 10.40 the life-boat Jose Neville was launched with the second coxswain in charge, in a rough sea with a strong south-easterly breeze blowing, and found the motor barge Olive May, of London, about two miles to the south-east. She was anchored, with her engine broken down, but the anchor was dragging and the skipper asked for a tug. The life-boat wire- lessed for one, and put two life-boat- men on board the barge. She then stood by while they helped the barge's crew to start their winch engine, and the tug took her in tow. The life- boat escorted her to Great Yarmouth Harbour, and then returned to her station arriving at 8.5 the next morn- ing.—Property Salvage Case..
