Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Nor- folk. At 10.27 on the morning of the 12th of July, 1960, the coastguard in- formed the honorary secretary that a girl had been seen floating from the beach on a rubber mattress. The life- boat Louise Stephens was launched three minutes later in a moderate westerly breeze and a slight sea. It was two hours before low water. The girl was picked up by a motor boat near the harbour mouth and transferred to the life-boat. She was suffering from shock and was wrapped in blankets. On being landed, she was taken by ambulance to hospital. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 10.41. Rewards to the crew, £6 5s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 5s..
