Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk. At 2.39 on the afternoon of the 26th of June, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a whaler with a crew of six sea cadets was being carried by the ebb tide on to a lee shore off Gorton. The life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 3.5, two hours before low water. There was a strong north-easterly breeze and a moderate sea. The life-boat came up with the whaler and escorted her into Lowestoft harbour. There the cadets were taken on board the life-boat, which towed the whaler back to Yar- mouth and reached her station at 5.11.

Rewards to the crew, £12 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3..
