St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At 10.30 on the morning of the 9th of October, 1957, a message was received from theAlderney harbour master that three men had put out in a boat to go fishing and had not returned. They had been last seen at six o'clock on the evening before three miles north-east of the Casquets lighthouse. At 11.56 the life-boat Euphrosyne Kendal put out in a slight sea. There was a light north- easterly breeze blowing and it was low water. The life-boat made for the position, and aircraft also joined in the search. An aircraft eventually found the 30-feet open boat Shirley May of Alderney two miles south-west of Alderney. The life-boat was guided to the position and took the boat, which had engine trouble, in tow. The life-boat reached her station at 10.10.
