SEPTEMBER 23RD. - CROMER, NORFOLK.

At about 9.40 A.M. a request came from the naval base at Great Yarmouth, through the coastguard, for the life-boat to land an injured man, and the No. 1 motor life-boat H.F. Bailey was launched at 10 A.M. with a doctor on board. A light E.S.E. wind was blowing and the sea was smooth. Three miles to the E.S.E. of Cromer the life-boat found the S.S. J. B. Paddon, of London. Her chief mate had fractured two fingers of his left hand. The doctor attended to it, and the life-boat then brought the mate ashore, arriving at 11.10 A.M. - Rewards, £6 4s..
