Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Nor- folk. At 12.30 on the afternoon of the 4th of July, 1959, a man informed the coxswain that his son and a friend had put out to fish in his skiff against his advice and that he was worried about their safety. There was a moderate south-easterly wind with a rough sea and an ebb tide. The coxswain went to the coastguard station and saw a small boat anchored three miles south of the pier. The life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 12.47 and made for the position. The two boys were taken aboard the life-boat, which towed the skiff to harbour. The life-boat reached her station at 1.35. The father expressed his thanks. Rewards to the crew, £11 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 5s..
