Frolic

On the 16th November the motor fishing boat Frolic, with two men on board, broke down off the Gouffre and began to drift towards the Hanois reef. Her signals were heard on shore and the motor life-boat Queen Victoria was launched at 6.12 P.M. She kept in touch with shore by means of her wireless and morse lamp, and eventually found the Frolic about one and a half miles south of Icart Point. She towed her back to St. Peter Port, and returned to her station at 11.25 P.M. During the service a light N.N.E. wind was blowing.

The sea was smooth at first, but very rough later.—Rewards, £14 Is. 6d..
