MARCH 8TH and 11TH. - CROMER NORFOLK. While the No. 1 lifeboat. F. Bailey was still waiting to land the men she had rescued from the S.S. Corduff, news came through the coastguard that a ship was ashore four miles S.E. of Cromer.

As soon as she had landed the Corduff's men at 7.45 A.M. the life-boat refuelled and left again at 8.15 A.M. A moderate S.E. wind was blowing, with a ground swell. The life-boat found the S.S. Kenton of Newcastle, which had been attacked. There was no one on board. The life-boat found two ship’s boats, both empty and with nothing to show to what vessel they had belonged. She towed them to Cromer, arriving about 10 A.M.

Three days later the naval authorities wished to investigate the wreck of the Kenton, and the No. 2 motor life-boat Harriot Dixon put out at 1 P.M. It was found that the steamer had broken her back. The life-boat brought ashore two Lewis guns, rifles and ammunition, and returned to her station at 3.30 P.M. - Rewards : No. 1, £13 6s. 6d.

No. 2, Expenses paid by the Admiralty.
