H.M. Trawlers Madden and Tamora

APRIL 14TH. - CROMER, NORFOLK. At 6 P.M. a message was received from the coastguard that a trawler would arrive shortly, with injured men on board to be landed, and at 6.50 P.M. two appeared, H.M. Trawlers Madden and Tamora. A moderate N.W. wind was blowing and the sea was smooth. The No. 2 motor life-boat Harriot Dixon was launched immediately with a doctor on board. She went alongside the Madden, and the doctor went on board, and gave medical attention to four men who had been wounded by enemy action. The life-boat then took the doctor to the Tamora, who also had a man slightly wounded, but he was able, after attention, to remain on board his ship. The four men on the Madden were taken on board the life-boat and landed, when they were taken to Cromer Hospital. The life-boat returned to her station at 8.5 P.M. - Rewards, £13 12s. 6d..
