Beatrice

Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At 6.51 on the evening of the 20th of September, 1957, the coast- guard telephoned that a local fishing boat was anchored south of the har- bour entrance. At 7.2 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched in a slight swell. There was a gentle south- easterly breeze blowing and it was high water. The life-boat came up with the fishing boat Beatrice, with a crew ofthree. Her propeller shaft had broken and the life-boat took her in tow into the harbour, arriving back at her station at 7.35.—Rewards to the crew, £9; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3..
