Primula
Great Yarmouth and Gorlestcn, Norfolk.—At 2.48 on the morning of the 19th of October, 1955, the Gorles- ton coastguard rang up to say that a drifter had gone aground one hundred yards north of the harbour entrance, and that she was burning flares. At 3.10 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched. She made for the position in a heavy swell, with a strong south- westerly breeze blowing and an ebbing tide. She found that the drifter Primula, of Aberdeen, which had a crew of ten, had refloated, so she escorted her to the harbour and reached her station again at 4.5.— Rewards to the crew, £12; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 5s..
