Why Worry

Cromer, Norfolk.—At 12.11 on the afternoon of the 15th of September, 1953, the coastguard telephoned that the local fishing boat Why Worry, with a crew of two, appeared to have broken down off Trimingham, four miles south-east of Cromer. At 12.25 the No. 2 life-boat Harriot Dixon was launched. There was a rough sea and a fresh east-south-east breeze, and it was misty. Three miles out the life- boat met the fishing boat, which had got under way again, and escorted her in, reaching Cromer again at one o'clock.—Rewards, £11 10s..
