Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At three o'clock on the after- noon of the 28th of May, 1955, the Gorleston coastguard reported that a local doctor had received a message from the S.S. Sunfleet, of Goole. asking if a man on board, who was suffering from a perforated ulcer, could be taken ashore. The Sunfleet was due to arrive in Yarmouth Roads at 4.30, and at 4.20 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched. There was a slight sea and a moderate north-easterly breeze, and it was high water.

The life-boat came up with the steamer half a mile to the eastward, took the patient on board, and landed him in the harbour, where an ambulance was waiting, at 4.38.—Rewards to the crew, £9; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 17s. 6d..
