Five of Hearts

Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At 9.40 on the night of the 2nd of October, 1952, the police re- ported that a motor cruiser was in difficulties about one mile from Brey- don Swing Bridge, and at 10.10 the life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, was launched.

There was a slight swell, with a north-westerly breeze blowing. The life-boat found the motor cruiser Fire of Hearts, with a crew of four, in Breydon Water.

Her engine had broken down, and the life-boat towed her to Great Yarmouth yacht station, reaching her own station at 12.5.—Rewards, £10 4s..
