Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At 1.36 in the afternoon of the 5th of February, 1952, the Gorleston coastguard telephoned that the S.S. Poole Channel, of London, had wirelessed that she was making for Great Yarmouth with an injured man.

She expected to arrive at five o'clock and asked that the man might be landed. The life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 4.45 in charge of the second coxswain, with a doctor on board. A light west-north-west breeze was blowing, with a slight swell. The life-boat met the steamer off the harbour, took on board her boatswain, who had injured his collar-bone, wirelessed for an ambulance to meet her at her station, and arrived there again at 5.23.—Rewards, £14 8s. 6d..
