Sheringham, Norfolk.—At 12.45 on the afternoon of the 2nd of December, 1955, the Cromer coastguard rang up to say that the S.S. Tudor Queen had wirelessed that she had found the motor yacht Flashing Stream, with a crew of two, fifteen miles north of Sheringham. The yacht had broken down, and the steamer asked for a tug.

The steamer later reported that she had taken the yacht in tow herself and asked the life-boat to take over. At 1.44 the life-boat Foresters Centenary was launched in a calm sea. There was a west-north-west breeze, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the Tudor Queen near West Sheringham buoy, towed her to Wells and reached her station again at 10.5.

The owner and skipper expressed their appreciation.—Rewards to the crew.

£29 5s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £17 3s..
