Knola

St. Peter Port, Guernsey.—At 10.30 on the night of the 28th of July, 1956, the St. Peter Port signal station re- ported that a yacht was on the rocks in Saint Bay. The life-boat Euphro- syne Kendal put out at 10.54 with the bowman in charge. The sea was very rough, with a fresh southerly gale blowing. Using her searchlight, the life-boat found the yacht Knola plung- ing heavily. She managed to take off her crew of four and returned to her station, arriving at 12.40 early on the 29th.—Rewards to the crew, £7; reward to the helper on shore, 12s..
