Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At 12.27 early on the morn- ing of the 26th of November, 1953, the Gorleston coastguard rang up to say that the S.S. Marsworth, of London, had wirelessed that she was sinking.

She had been in collision with a French steamer about eight miles from Winter- ton and was making for the beach.

At 12.50 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched in a slight swell with a light south-south-west breeze blowing and fog, but before she could reach her the Marsworth sank. The S.S. Jellicoe Rose took on board three of the Marsworth''s crew of ten, and the remainder were taken aboard another ship. The Jellicoe Rose broadcast this news and the life-boat, finding her two miles north of North Cockle Buoy, took on board the three mem- bers of the Marsworth's crew who had been rescued. She landed them in the harbour at 7.18.—Rewards, £33..
