Caister, Norfolk. Because of de- teriorating weather conditions on the night of the 17th of May, 1959, anxiety was felt for two fishing boats which had not returned to harbour, and the life-boat Jose Neville was launched at 11.55. It was low water, and there was a heavy swell with a fresh north- easterly breeze. At two o'clock the life-boat passed the larger of the two boats, which was proceeding on a southerly course to Yarmouth, her home port. Later she found the second boat, the Eileen Summer of Caister, half a mile off Horsea Beach. The fishing boat's crew were trying to haul in their nets, but this could not be done before daylight, and the life-boat stood by until daylight came. She then escorted the fishing boat to Caister, arriving at 5.30. The Yarmouth boat reached harbour safely. Rewards to the crew, £14 8s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £6 10s..
