JANUARY 12TH. - GREAT YARMOUTH AND GORLESTON, NORFOLK. At about 12.25 P.M. the port war signal station reported that the Admiralty trawler Their Merit was aground on the North Beach just north of the harbour entrance, and a tug went out.

A few minutes later the motor life-boat was asked to go, and the Louise Stephens was launched at 12.45 P.M. A strong S.S.W.

wind was blowing, with a very rough sea.

In trying to get near the trawler the tug touched the ground. She then asked the life-boat to connect her with the trawler.

The trawler fired a line over the life-boat, and in very heavy seas the life-boat passed hawsers between the trawler and the tug, and the tug succeeded in towing the trawler off the beach and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 1.35 P.M., and the tug came in with the trawler a little later.- Property salvage case..
