Lowestoft, Suffolk. — At 9.52 in the morning of the 22nd of March, 1952, the coastguard telephoned that a fishing boat was flying a black flag about one mile to the eastward and at ten o'clock the life-boat Michael Stephens left her moorings in a mod- erate sea, with a strong westerly breeze blowing. She found the local shrimp boat Trade Winds, with a crew of four. Her nets and ropes had fouled her propeller. At the request of her skipper the life-boat towed her to the harbour and reached her station again at eleven o'clock. The skipper thanked the life-boatmen.— Rewards, £7 15s..
