St. Peter Port, Guernsey.—At 9.50 on the night of the 27th of April, 1950, lights, believed to be flares, were seen from the signal station. At 10.15 the police confirmed seeing them from St.

Martin's Point. At 10.45 the life-boat Hearts of Oak, on temporary duty at the station, was launched in a moderate sea with a moderate north-westerly breeze blowing. She found the local motor boat, Doreen, with one man on board, drifting one mile east-south-east of St. Martin's Point. She took the man on board. A life-boatman then boarded the Doreen and the life-boat towed her to her station, arriving at 12.10 the next morning.—Rewards, £5 16«..
