Caister, Norfolk.—At 12.20 early on the morning of the 30th of May, 1955, the Gorleston coastguard telephoned that the S.S. Harfry, of London, had been in collision with another ship be- tween the North Cockle buoy and Middle Caister buoy, and that she had been badly holed. She intended to beach herself, and at 12.30 the life- boat Jose Neville was launched. There was a slight swell and a light north- easterly breeze, and it was one hour after low water. The life-boat found the Harfry, which had a crew of fifteen, on Hemsby beach, and members of the life-boat crew went on board. Towards midday, at low water, they tried to patch the hole with timber and cement, but were only partly successful. The life-boat then wirelessed Great Yarmouth for salvage men and equipment, and these men finished the patch. Tugs helped the steamer to pump herself dry, and she then refloated. She went to Yar- mouth under her own power but accompanied by the life-boat, which reached her .station again at 7.15 on the 31st, having been on service for over thirty hours. The master and crew expressed their appreciation.— Property Salvage Case..
