Dorian

St. Peter Port, Guernsey.—At 9.20 on the evening of the 12th of September, 1954, a man at Sark reported that the motor yacht Dorian had left Sark, with six people on board, for Guernsey at six o'clock that evening and ought to have arrived at 7.20. She was still missing when the life-boat Euphrosyne Kendal put out at 10.1 in a moderate sea with a moderate south-westerly breeze blowing. The life-boat searched extensively in an ebb tide, and at eight o'clock next morning found the yacht broken down four miles east of Quenard lighthouse, Alderney. The life-boat rescued the six people, towed the Dorian to Alderney, and then took the rescued people to St. Peter Port, arriving at 12.35 on the 13th.—Re- wards, £21 14s..
