St. Helier, Jersey. At 6.55 on the evening of the 24th of September, 1958, the honorary secretary received a message that a small boat appeared to be in difficulties half a mile south of Icho tower. The life-boat Elizabeth Rippon put out at 7.12 in a moderate swell, with a strong south-south- westerly wind blowing and an ebb tide.

She reached the position and found the motor boat Avec Dieu of Granville on passage from Chansey to St. Helier with a priest in charge and five other people on board. The priest told the coxswain that he had lost his bearings, and the life-boat escorted the motor boat to St. Helier, arriving at 8.25.

Rewards to the crew, £7 ; reward to the helper on shore, 12s..
