Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk. On I4th February, 1966, the assistant honorary secretary was asked by the agents of the trawler Ira to lay an anchor and stand by while an attempt was made to refloat the vessel. At noon the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched in a gentle north-easterly breeze and a moderate sea. It was two hours after low water. The life-boat on reaching the position of the trawler fired a rocket line to which a rope was attached. The Ira's crew then connected a towing wire, to which an anchor and a buoy was attached and which was then hauled aboard the life-boat, and laid in 26 feet of water eastnorth- east of the trawler. No attempt was made to refloat the Ira and the life-boat returned to her station arriving at 5.30 p.m. A message of thanks was received by radio from the agents..
