A Longshore Rowing Boat

NOVEMBER 17TH. - GREAT YARMOUTH AND GORLESTON. At 12.20 in the afternoon the coastguard reported that a longshore rowing boat was having difficulty in making the harbour. A fresh southerly gale was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 12.39 and found the rowing boat half a mile south-east of Gorleston. She was drifting seawards. There were two on board. The life-boat took them off and towed their boat to Gorleston. She arrived back at her station at 12.48. - Rewards, £11 4s. 6d..
