The Airliner Cloud of lona (1)

St. Peter Port, Guernsey, and St.

Helier, Jersey.—31st July. The air liner Cloud of lona had been reported .overdue, and the motor life-boat Queen Victoria put out and searched all night without success. Shortly after noon on the 1st August she went out again, but it was then learned that wreckage had been found at the Minquiers and she was recalled, returning to her station at 7.30 P.M. At Jersey the life-boat coxswain and two other life-boatmen went out with the States Tug, which searched for two hours and then returned, owing to bad weather. On the return of the tug at about midnight these three men, and five others, stood by until noon.— Rewards, St. Peter Port life-boat, £17 125.; St. Helier life-boatmen, £7 105..
