Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Nor- folk. At 11.26 on the night of the 7th November, 1961, the coastguard in- formed the honorary secretary that a small boat was trapped under the north pier and that cries for help had been heard by the watchman at the end of the pier. A strong south-by-easterly wind was blowing with a moderate sea. The tide was ebbing. At 11.29 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched. She found the longshore boat Schemz half full of water and with her engine broken down. The life-boat took off the two men on board and towed the Schemz to harbour. News was then received that a longshore fishing boat appeared to be in difficulties in Yarmouth roads, and the coxswain was asked to investigate. The life-boat found the Judith Ann with her engine broken down and dragging her anchor. She had a crew of four. The life-boat towed the Judith Ann to harbour and reached her station at 1.20.
