Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Nor- folk. At 11.8 on the morning of the 10th of May, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the German fishing boat Angela had an injured man on board, who needed a doctor. The boat was due in the Yarmouth Roads at 12.30, and at 12.7 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched with two doctors on board.

There was a fresh south-easterly wind.

Because of a swell the Angela failed to make the rendezvous on time, but after a search she was found and the life-boat went alongside. The doctors were put on board and attended the man, who had severed an artery in his arm and was bleeding profusely. Because of the heavy swell the coxswain decided it would be unwise to transfer the fisher- man to the life-boat, and the life-boat escorted the Angela to harbour, where the injured man was landed at 2.58. Hewas then taken to hospital. Rewards to the crew, £13 Is. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 5s..
