Cromer, Norfolk.—At eleven o'clock on the morning of the 22nd of July, 1957, the coxswain of the no. 2 life-boat received a message from the coastguard that a small boat was ashore five miles south-east of Cromer on Trimingham beach. The tide was out and the boat was high and dry. There were two people on board and they were in no danger at the time, but as there was a heavy ground swell and a moderate northerly breeze blowing the no. 2 life-boat crew decided to stand bv in case they might be needed. At one o'clock the tide began to flood and the boat was in danger of capsizing-, so the no. 2 life-boat Harriot Dixon was launched at 1.25. She came up with the yacht Pococita. A line was fired to the yacht by the Schcrmuly pistol and an attempt was made to tow her off, but this was unsuccessful. When the tide began to ebb the two men on board the yacht decided to go ashore and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 3.50.—Rewards to the crew, £10 16*.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7 9,9..
