OCTOBER 12TH. - ALDEBURGH, SUFFOLK.

At 11.55 in the morning the coastguard telephoned that a fishing vessel was flashing signals about two and a half miles off-shore, and later they reported that she had fired a red Very light. A light westnorth- west breeze was blowing and the sea was smooth, but there was fog. At 12.40 the No. 1 motor life-boat Abdy Beauclerk was launched and found the motor fishing vessel Watercress, with a crew of five, bound with naval stores for Scapa Flow. Her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her to Lowestoft, arriving there at five in the afternoon. She returned to her station next day, arriving at 9.15 in the morning. - Rewards, £38 17s.
