Lowestoft, Suffolk.—While the life-boat Greater London (Civil Service No. 3), on temporary duty at the station, was on show for the local life-boat day, on the 2nd of August, 1957, the coxswain was told that a canoe had capsized a mile and a half north of the harbour. The life-boat put out at 4.3 in the afternoon.

There was a moderate sea, a moderate north-easterly breeze was blowing, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found two men clinging to the canoe's bottom. They were taken on board and landed at the harbour, which was reached at 5.30.—Rewards to the crew, £8..
