JANUARY 23RD. - GREAT YARMOUTH AND GORLESTON, NORFOLK. About 6.55 in the morning the coastguard telephoned a message from the naval authorities at Lowestoft that a vessel in Corton Roads was in need of help and the motor life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 7.5. A strong south-easterly wind was blowing, with heavy seas. She found the minesweeper B.Y.M.2051, with a crew of about thirty, aground on the South Holm Sands. She took off 22 of the crew, landed them at Lowestoft, and then returned to the minesweeper. The minesweeper was then afloat again, but was making a lot of water, and the life-boat stood by. Another minesweeper arrived to take the 2051 in tow and the life-boat took a pump and six men from her to the 2051. The second minesweeper took the 2051 in tow, but the rope parted, and the tow was continued by a tug from Lowestoft. The life-boat then took back the pump and the men to the second minesweeper, and escorted them to Lowestoft, where they arrived at 9.54. She returned to Gorleston at noon. - Rewards, £7 10s..
