AUGUST 24TH. - SHERINGHAM, NORFOLK.

At about 7.30 P.M . the fishing smack Our Need, of Lowestoft, owned by a salvage firm and bound light from Lowestoft to Oban, with a crew of four, ran aground on the rocks about half a mile N.E. of the life-boat station. The weather was fine with a light S.E. wind and a slight swell. A fishing boat went to the stranded smack and signalled that the life-boat was wanted. At 7.45 P.M. the motor life-boat Foresters Centenary was launched. At the request of the skipper she ran out an anchor and stood by. The tide was then about one hour before low water. From 10 P.M. onwards efforts were made to pull the vessel off the rocks. Fishermen and life-boatmen went on board, and in the end she got off. She then anchored for the night and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 11.40 P.M.
