St. Peter Port, Guernsey.—At 10.27 on the night of the 18th of July, 1951, a wireless message was received from the Island of Jethou that the motor boat Togo had broken down and was drifting south of Herm. At 11.3 the life-boat Queen Victoria was launched.

The sea was calm, but there was a thick fog, and she could not fix the Togo's exact position among the numerous reefs off that part of the coast. So, as the motor boat would be in no immediate danger the life-boat anchored until the fog cleared. She found the Togo about half-past five in the morning with one man on board, and took her in tow; bringing her into St. Peter Port at 6.12.—Rewards, £13 2s..
