NOVEMBER 24TH. - GREAT YARMOUTH AND GORLESTON, NORFOLK. At 10.15 In the morning the naval authorities asked that the life-boat should be launched to go to the help of a vessel 15 miles east of Gorleston.

The vessel had been attacked by the enemy and was being towed in by two tugs. A light S.W. wind was blowing, with a moderate sea.

The motor life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 10.30 and found that the vessel was the steamer Blair Nevis. She was now very low in the water, but her crew wished to remain on board. Her captain, however, asked the life-boat to stand by as he had no boats. The life-boat then helped by taking a salvage officer from one of the tugs to the Blair Nevis and by carrying messages to the tug and to a motor launch. Escorted by the life-boat the Blair Nevis reached Yarmouth Roads at about 3.30 P.M., and after standing by for half an hour the life-boat returned to her station at 5.15. - Rewards, £6 4s. 6d..
