At 9.43 on the night of the 26th of November, 1957, the coast- guard reported that a small boat was showing a distress signal half a mile north of the harbour entrance. The life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 10.4 in a calm sea. There was a gentle west-south-westerly breeze and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the fishing boat May Rose, of Yarmouth, with a crew of three, at anchor. Her engine had broken down.

The life-boat took her in tow and reached the harbour at 10.30. Re- wards to the crew, £10 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3..
