St. Peter Port, Guernsey.—On the morning1 of the 1st of September, 1956, the signal station sighted a yacht two miles south-east of St. Martin's Point signalling for help. At 6.53 the life- boat Euphrosyne Kendal put out in a very rough sea. There was a moderate north-easterly gale, and it was low water. The life-boat found the yacht Wal, of Portsmouth, with eight people on board in danger of being driven on the rocks. She passed a rope aboard and towed the yacht to St.

Peter Port, arriving there at 9.15.— Rewards to the crew, £8 8s.; reward to the helper on shore, 14s..
