Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk - At 12.15 p.m. on 10th December, 1967, the honorary secretary learnt that a boat was in difficulties about half a mile east of the lookout.

The life-boat Khami slipped her moorings at 12.12 in a north north westerly gale and a moderate sea. It was three hours after low water. The life-boat came up with the auxiliary ketch Chimera of Great Yarmouth, drifting about one mile south of the harbour. There was a man aboard.

The ketch, which had run out of fuel, was taken in tow to the harbour and the life-boat returned to her station at 12.38..
