DECEMBER 3RD. - CROMER, NORFOLK.

During the morning while the fishing boats were out an east-south-east wind sprang up, causing a heavy surf on the beach. As the boat Morning Star, with a crew of three, had not returned by noon the No. 2 life-boat Harriot Dixon was launched at 12.20 in the afternoon. She found the Morning Star, took aboard some of her gear, handed lifebelts to her crew and, keeping as close as possible to her, escorted her through the surf.

Both boats were beached at 12.45. - Rewards, £13 11s..
