St. Helier, Jersey.—At 5.20 ill the morning of the 7th of February, 1950, the Harbour Office telephoned to say the St. Helier pilot boat had wirelessed that the motor vessel Killurin, of London, had run on the rocks, later identified as Les Sillettes reef off Noir- mont Point. At 5.50 the life-boat Elizabeth Rippon left her moorings in a heavy swell and a light south-westerly breeze. She found the vessel, which had had a crew of nine, nearly sub- merged. One man, who was clinging to her mast, jumped and the life-boat picked him up. She then picked up three men floating in life-belts, one of whom was dead. Meanwhile a fishing boat had found three more men in a ship's boat and landed them at St.

Helier. This left two. The life-boat took the men she had picked up to her station and left again to search for them. She found one body and landed it at nine o'clock. The fishing boat put out again and the ex-life-boat cox- swain's boat also searched. But the last member of the crew was not found.
