Marguerite T.

St. Peter Port, Guernsey.—At 10.31 on the night of the 21st of August, 1951, the signal station made a report.

The yacht Marguerite T., of Lowestoft, had wirelessed that she had broken down and was in a dangerous position in the Little Russell. At 10.55 the life-boat Queen Victoria left her moor- ings. The sea was rough, with a strong south-westerly breeze blowing.

She found the yacht, with a crew of three, anchored on a lee shore, and towed her to St. Peter Port. She reached her station again at 12.5 the next morning. The crew made gifts to the life-boatmen and to the funds of the Institution.—Rewards, £5 16s..
