Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At 10.44 on the morning of the 31st of October, 1956, the coast- guard telephoned that the S.S.

Southern Broom was making for Yar- mouth with a badly injured man aboard. He asked if the life-boat would meet the steamer and bring the man ashore. At 1.30 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched, with a doctor on board. The sea was rough, there was a fresh north-easterly gale, and the tide was flooding. The life- boat met the Southern Broom one mile north of the harbour and with great difficulty in the very bad weather the injured man was transferred to the life-boat. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 2.15.—Rewards to the crew, £13 5s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 5*..
