Caister, Norfolk.—At 12.15 on the afternoon of the 15th of June, 1954, information reached the life-boathouse that H.M. motor launch No. 323, a survey vessel, had gone aground on the Barber Sands. At 12.19 the Great Yarmouth coastguard telephoned the same story, and one minute later the life-boat Jose Neville was launched in a rough sea. There was a strong southerly breeze, and the tide was half ebb. The life-boat found the motor launch, which had a crew of nine, hard aground with seas breaking all round her. She fired a line to her, connected a tow rope, and after several attempts pulled the vessel clear. The motor launch was leaking badly, but she made for Great Yarmouth under her own power, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 5.20.—Property Salvage Case..
