APRIL 29TH. - LOWESTOFT, SUFFOLK.

At 4.20 in the afternoon it was reported by fishing boats returning from the fishing grounds that the engines of two other boats had broken down off Southwold. A northnorth- west gale was blowing, with a choppy sea. At 5.20 the motor life-boat Michael Stephens was launched and in about half-anhour met the longshore fishing boat Unity, of Lowestoft. She had got her engines working again. The life-boat escorted her to harbour, and again went to sea to search for the second boat. She went to Covehithe Ness and onward to Southwold. Then, going inshore, she found the boat beached, and not in need of help. She returned to her station at 7.30 that evening. - Rewards, £5 14s..
