During a moderate S.W. to W. gale, with a heavy sea, a message was re- ceived at 7.15 P.M. on the 10th January that at 3.15 P.M. the fishing boat L'Arguenon, of St. Malo, was in diffi- culties. The crew of the Motor Life- boat Queen Victoria were assembled, but in view of the fact that the message must have come from a vessel in a posi- tion to give help, that the message had been sent four hours earlier, and that the position was thirty-five miles from Les Hanois Lighthouse (nearly forty- five miles from St. Peter Port), the Life-boat did not put out. A passing steamer saved one of the crew of L'Arguenon, but the remaining two were lost.—Rewards, £1 11s. 6d..
