Lowestoft, Suffolk.—At 1.12 early on the morning of the 28th of June, 1957, the coastguard reported that a vessel was burning flares south of the harbour.

The life-boat Michael Stephens put out at 1.45 in a slight sea. There was a fresh westerly breeze blowing and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the local longshore boat Pedro with a crew of two. Her engine had broken down. The life-boat took her in tow to Lowestoft harbour, arriving there at 2.35.—Rewards to the crew, £8; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 4s..
