A Sailing Dinghy (1)
Cromer, Norfolk.—At 5.25 on the afternoon of the 9th of September, 1957, the coastguard reported that a sailing dinghy had capsized a mile and a half off Trimingham. At 5.32 the no. 1 life-boat Henry Blogg was launched in a slight sea. There was a squally south-westerly wind and the tide was flooding. Before the life- boat reached the position a helicopter rescued the dinghy's crew of two.
The life-boat took the dinghy in tow to her station, arriving at 7.30.— Rewards to the crew, £14 8s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, etc., £7 85..
