St. Peter Port, Guernsey.—At 5.50 on the evening of the 9th of August, 1952, the St. John Ambulance Brigade rang up to say that their motor boat Flying Christine was going to the help of two people marooned on a rock in Moulin Huet Bay and asked for the support of the life-boat. The call was receivedby the life-boat Queen Victoria while she was taking part in the local life- boat flag day. In a rough sea, with a strong breeze blowing from the south- south-west, she put out at 5.58, in the charge of the bowman, with the honor- ary secretary, Captain F. Nicolle, on board. On reaching St. Martins Point, she met the Flying Christine returning with the two persons safely on board.

The life-boat then returned to her station, which she reached at 6.45.— Rewards, £5 5s..
