St. Peter Port, Guernsey.—The motor life-boat Queen Victoria was launched at 12.45 A.M. on the 29th June to search for the motor fishing boat Nellie.

The Nellie had left Sark for Guernsey with five people on board during the previous evening, but had not arrived, and between 10 P.M. and midnight there had been a violent thunderstorm with heavy rain. The life-boat found the Nellie a short distance from St. Peter Port. She had run out of petrol, and was drifting with the tide. The lifeboat took off the five people and towed the Nellie into harbour. She returned to her station at 1.45 A.M.— Rewards, £9 Is..
