The pulling and sailing life-boat Charles Burton was launched at 7.35 P.M. and found the motor fishing boat Don’t Know, of Great Yarmouth, with a crew of two, nearly in the breakers off Caister Shoal. Her engine had broken down and her anchor was dragging.

The life-boat towed her in and returned to her station at 9 P.M. - Rewards, £29 5s..
