FEBRUARY 2ND. - CROMER, NORFOLK.

At 9.37 A.M. the Cromer coastguard telephoned that a vessel, about one and a half miles north of Cromer, had reported that she had a man on board dangerously ill. The coastguard also telephoned a doctor, and he went with the No. 1 motor life-boat H. F.Bailey which was launched at 9.55 A.M. A moderate S.E. wind was blowing, with a moderate ground swell. The life-boat found the m.v. Sedulity, of London. She had been attacked by a German Heinkel aeroplane, which had attacked her with machine-guns, cannon and bombs, and her anti-aircraft gunner had been wounded. The life-boat brought him ashore, and returned to her station at 11.20 A.M. - Rewards, £12 7s. 6d..
