Aldeburgh, Suffolk.—At 7.46 in the morning of the 29th of March, 1952, the coastguard telephoned a wireless message from the motor vessel Scarcity, of London, that her rudder was not working. She was ten miles north- east-by-east of Orfordness and needed help. At 8.15 the No. 1 life-boat Abdy Beauderk was launched. A whole easterly gale was blowing, with a rough sea. The life-boat found the Scarcity three miles east of Aldeburgh, stood by her and accompanied her to Harwich, where they arrived at 12.22 in the afternoon. The life-boat re- mained at Harwich, as the weather was too severe for her to land on the beach at Aldeburgh, and was taken back to her station on the 31st.—Rewards, £54 18s..
