Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At 5.31 on the evening of the 6th of July, 1957, the Gorleston coast- guard telephoned that a fishing boat needed help a mile and a half south of the harbour. The life-boat W. R. A., on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 5.40. There was a slight sea, a strong easterly breeze was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life- boat came up with the fishing boat Ethel May, which had a crew of two and whose engines had broken down.

She took the fishing boat in tow and reached her station at 6.25.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £l 16s..
