S.S. Favorit

NOVEMBER 17TH. - GREAT YARMOUTH AND GORLESTON, NORFOLK. At about 10.20 A.M. the police asked for the services of the life-boat to land a badly wounded man from a steamer in the roadstead. The sea was rough, with a moderate S.S.W. breeze blowing. The motor life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 10.27 A.M. taking with her the medical officer of health and ambulance men, and went to the Norwegian steamer S.S. Favorit, of Stavanger, which was bound for London, laden with timber. One of the steamer’s crew had been severely wounded in an attack by a German aeroplane. The life-boat returned with the man at noon. He was taken to Yarmouth hospital where he died later. - Rewards, £7 3s. 6d..
