MAY 24TH. - SHERINGHAM, NORFOLK.

At 7.40 in the morning the life-boat’s assistant motor-mechanic telephoned the honorary secretary of the life-boat station that the sea was getting rough and several local fishing boats were at sea. At 8.15 the motor lifeboat Foresters Centenary was launched, the shore signalman being in command, in the absence of the coxswain, second-coxswain, and motor-mechanic, who were among the fishermen at sea. A moderate east-north-east wind was blowing, and the sea was rather rough. Just as the life-boat got away some of the boats made the shore, but three were still out. The life-boat escorted these boats home, the last one from off East Runton, three miles away. She returned to her station at 9.55. - Rewards, £16 13s. 6d..
