Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Nor- folk. At 12.52 on the afternoon of the 10th of April, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a man was adrift and in difficulties in a canoe off Yarmouth beach, approxi- mately one mile off shore. At 1.3 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched one hour before low water in a west- south-westerly wind of near gale force and a moderate swell. The life-boat found the man lying exhausted in his canoe three miles north-north-east of Gorleston pier. He was taken aboard and given first aid and food and drink, and the coxswain wirelessed for a doctor to meet the life-boat on her arrival at Gorleston. After recovering the canoe the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at two o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £11 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 15s..
