Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk. At 9.36 on the evening of the 28th of May, 1958, the coastguard informed the coxswain that distress signals were being shown in Yarmouth Roads. The life-boat Cunard, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 9.50 in a smooth sea.

There was a light south-by-easterly wind and an ebb tide. The life-boat I found the fishing boat Beatrice, with a crew of three, five hundred yards south-east of the harbour. Her engine had broken down, and the life-boat towed her to the harbour, arriving at 10.20. The owner of the fishing boat made a donation to the branch funds.

Rewards to the crew, £9 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2. 8s..
