Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At 2.50 early on the morning of the 15th of January, 1954, the coastguard telephoned that the S.S.

Slaney, of Hull, was making for Yar- mouth Roads with a man suffering from appendicitis. No other boat was available to land him, and at 4.35 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched, with a doctor on board, in a rough sea, with a fresh south-south- west wind blowing. She took the patient on board and landed him at 5.15.—Rewards, £10..
