OCTOBER 3RD. - CROMER, NORFOLK.

At about 6.55 A.M. the coxswain heard through the coastguard that a small boat was making signals of distress about two miles S.E. by E. of Cromer. A moderate easterly wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. The No. 1 motor life-boat H. F. Bailey was launched at 7.5 A.M. and came up with the boat at 7.30 A.M. She had on board the crew of eight of the motor vessel Actuosity, of London, which had sunk, with her cargo of wheat, five minutes after striking a sunken wreck. The men had been in the boat for three hours. The life-boat took them on board, and returned to her station at 8.15 A.M. - Rewards, £13 6s. 6d..
