Dunlin

St. Peter Port, Guernsey.—At 10.35 in the morning of the 8th of August, 1948, the Trinity House vessel Patricia, which had been sheltering in Lancresse Bay, asked for the help of the life-boat in towing the auxiliary yacht Dunlin, of Poole, into harbour. A strong southerly breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Queen Victoria was launched at 10.40 and found the Dunlin and Patricia off the North Reefs. The yacht's crew of five were on the Patricia but one man re-boarded her and two life-boatmen also went on board. The life-boat then took the yacht in tow and arrived back at her station at 12.50 that after- noon.—Rewards, £8 19s. 6d..
