An Admiralty Trawler

NOVEMBER 24TH. - CROMER, NORFOLK.

At about 6 P.M. the coxswain was told by the resident naval officer that the life-boat might be required. A moderate northerly wind was blowing, with a ground swell. The crew stood by, and at 7.45 P.M.

news came that the life-boat was to go to an Admiralty trawler. At 8 P.M. the No. 2 life-boat Harriot Dixon was launched, and found the trawler about six miles off shore at 9.35 P.M. Her master handed the coxswain a parcel and some papers for the resident naval officer and the life-boat reached her station again at 10.30 P.M. - Rewards, £29 14s. 6d..
