The S.S. Freden, of Stockholm

SEPTEMBER 21ST. - GREAT YARMOUTH AND GORLESTON, NORFOLK. At 3.18 in the afternoon the coastguard reported that the S.S. Freden, of Stockholm, was making for Yarmouth Roads and had asked for a doctor, as the captain was injured. A light westsouth- west breeze was blowing, with a slight sea. A few minutes later the steamer was reported approaching and at 3.59 the motor lifeboat Louise Stephens was launched, with a doctor and ambulance men on board. The captain had internal injuries and the doctor decided to leave him on board the steamer, which was entering port next day. The lifeboat returned to her station at five o’clock.

A donation was received from the owners of the steamer. - Rewards, £4 14s..
