Caister, Norfolk.—At 8.50 on the evening of the 12th of January, 1955.

the life-boat motor mechanic noticed distress rockets two and a half miles to the eastward. At 9.5 the life-boat Jose Neville was launched. There was a heavy ground swell, a moderate breeze was blowing from west-by- north, and the tide was half flood.

The life-boat found the motor vessel Nissan, of Halmstad, Sweden, with a crew of ten, leaking through her stern tube and in need of a tug. The life- boat wirelessed for one, put two men aboard the vessel, and stood by until the tug arrived. The tug took the Nissan in tow and was escorted to Great Yarmouth harbour by the life- boat, which reached her station again at four o'clock on the morning of the 13th.—Property Salvage Case..
