Walton and Frinton, Essex. At. 1.5 on the afternoon of the 22nd of September, 1958, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a fishing vessel was in distress three to four miles south- east of the coastguard look-out. At 1.28 the life-boat Edian Courtauld put out, with the bowman in command, in a moderate sea, with a moderate west- south-westerly wind blowing and a flood tide. A helicopter also took off. The life-boat found the fishing vessel Dawn with a trawl foul of her propeller. Her crew of four had tried unsuccessfully for four hours to free it, and the life- boat took the Dawn in tow to Harwich, finally reaching her station at 5.20.Rewards to the crew, £12 16s. ; re- wards to the helpers on shore, £5..
