Lowestoft, Suffolk.—At 5.25 on the afternoon of the 21st of January, 1955, the coastguard reported that he had seen red flares three quarters of a mile east-south-east of the coastguard sta- tion. At 5.40 the life-boat Michael Stephens put out. There was a moder- ate sea, a fresh south-easterly breeze was blowing, and it was two hours before high water. The life-boat found the local motor trawler Grasby, with a crew of- eight, anchored near the Xewcombe sandbank. Her engines had broken down. The skipper asked the life-boat to stand by his ship until a tug arrived. The life-boat remained with her until the tug took the trawler in tow, and then returned to her station, arriving at 7.45.—Rewards, £12 2s. Od..
