Caister, Norfolk.—At 4.38 on the morning of the 7th of August, 1955, the life-boat motor mechanic saw flares on the North Scroby Sand. At 5.10 the life-boat Jose Neville was launched.

There was a ground swell and a light north-westerly breeze, and the tide was half ebb. The life-boat found the yacht Jemima Puddleduck, of Hull, with a crew of three, ashore and nearly- high and dry. With difficulty the coxswain took the life-boat to within twelve yards of her, and the three men waded to the life-boat. The life-boat then took them back to her station, arriving at 6.11. The Jemima Puddle- duck became a total wreck.—Rewards to the crew, £8; rewards to the helpers on shore, £6 Gs..
