Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At 1.30 in the afternoon of the 31st of January, 1952, the police reported that the S.S. Capitol, of London, wanted to land a sick man and would be off the harbour about four o'clock. She arrived at 4.30 and at 5.45 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched in the charge of the second coxswain, with the police doctor on board, in a moderate sea with a west-south-west breeze. The doctor decided not to land the man, as the vessel was making for London.

The life-boat brought the doctor ashore again, and returned to her station at seven o'clock that night.—• Rewards, £10 16s..
