MAY 13TH. - LOWESTOFT, SUFFOLK.

About noon a vessel was seen five miles out showing a “Not under control” signal. She anchored, and was kept under observation, but later she went on her way. At 6.30 she was seen to be flying a distress signal and drifting on to Newcombe Sands, and the motor life-boat Michael Stephens was launched at 6.45. A north-easterly wind was blowing, with a moderate swell. The life-boat found the Danish motor vessel Loa Ronn, laden with fish. She was without her rudder. The lifeboat took her in tow, pulled her clear of the shoal, and brought her into the roads, abreast of the harbour. A tug then came out and took her in tow, with the life-boat helping to steer her with ropes from her stern. In this way they brought her safely into harbour at 9.20. - Property salvage case..
