Caister-on-Sea, Norfolk.—At 12.10 on the afternoon of the 12th of October, 1956, a small fishing boat was seen from the boathouse to be firing distresssignals about one mile and a quarter north-east of the life-boat station.

Five minutes later the life-boat Jose Neville was launched. There was a slight swell, a gentle west-south- westerly breeze was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the fishing boat Golden Gift, of Yar- mouth, with her engine broken down.

She had a crew of three. The life- boat took the Golden Gift in tow to Yarmouth harbour and arrived back at her station at three o'clock.— Rewards to the crew, £12; rewards to the helpers on shore, £6 2s..
