BARGE TOWED CLEAR Wells, Norfolk. At 9.10 a.m. on 9th February, 1964, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the motor barge Una had grounded on the west side of Blakeney harbour. There was a light north-westerly breeze with a moderate sea, and the tide was flooding. The warden of the Blakeney Bird Sanctuary, who had investigated, reported that although the barge was in no immediate danger her master had asked the life-boat to stand by when the tide flooded sufficiently for her to re-float. The life-boat Lucy Lavers, on temporary duty at the station, launched at 12.35 p.m. to stand by the barge. The engine of the barge failed as she tried to pull herself clear and a line was made fast from the life-boat. The barge was towed clear by the life-boat and safely moored in Blakeney Pit, and the life-boat reached her station at 5.30. A gift was made by the owner of the barge to the life-boat crew..
