DECEMBER 5TH. - GREAT YARMOUTH AND GORLESTON, NORFOLK. At 3.43 in the morning the coastguard reported a wireless message from the S.S. Elizabeth Lysaght, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, that she was aground on Corton Sands and in need of immediate help. The motor life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 4.15 in a fresh north-westerly wind, with a heavy sea running. She found the steamer on the north end of Holme Sand, bumping heavily.

At the request of the master the life-boat stood by for a time. Then she took soundings, found deep water, and the master went fullsteam ahead and refloated. Accompanied by the life-boat the Elizabeth Lysaght went to Yarmouth Roads and anchored. The master thanked the coxswain, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at eight that morning. - Rewards, £14 13s..
