Lowestoft, Suffolk.—At 2.52 on the afternoon of the 27th of August, 1957, the coastguard reported that a local fishing boat was flying a distress signal about two miles south-east of the harbour. The life-boat Greater London (Civil Service No. 3), on temporary duty at the station, put out at three o'clock in a slight sea. There was a gentle westerly breeze and an ebbing tide. The life-boat came up with the fishing boat Dot, with a crew of Iwo, and towed her into harbour. The life-boat was about to return to her moorings when she received a message that two bathers were in difficulties at Southwold, but before she could reach them a helicopter reported that they had come ashore safely. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 5.25.— Rewards to the crew, £8 8s.; reward to the helper on shore 12s..
