Lowestoft, Suffolk.—On the morning of the 12th of June, 1956, the coast- guard reported that the local long- shore boat Eva May, with one man on.

board, had left harbour at nine o'clock the morning before, but had not re- turned, and anxiety was felt for her safety. Two local boats had searched during the night but had found nothing. At six o'clock the life-boat Greater London (Civil Service No. 3), on temporary duty at the station, put out in a slight sea, with a moderate northerly breeze blowing and an ebb- ing tide. A message was received that the cargo vessel Cardiffbrook had sighted the Eva May with her engine broken down eight miles south of Lowestoft. The life-boat went to the position and towed the Eva May to Lowestoft, arriving there at 8.55. The owner and skipper thanked the crew.
