St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At 6.35 on the evening of the 30th of November, 1958, the honorary secretary was informed by the signal station of a police report. This was that two men, who had left Lihou Island at four o'clock in a flat-bottomed punt fitted with an outboard engine, were known to have been intending to land in Perelle Bay about a mile and a half away, but that they had not yet arrived. At 7.5 the life-boat Euphro- syne Kendal put out. The weather was cloudy, the tide was flooding, and there was a moderate north- easterly breeze. The life-boat carried out a search of the area north of Lihou Island with the help of parachute flares. As the island itself was to be searched by the police about low water, the coxswain decided to anchor and to wait until this search had been completed. There was no trace of the missing men or the boat on the island, but at seven o'clock, soon after it was light, the upturned punt was seen just awash a hundred yards from the life- boat. There was no sign of the two men. The life-boat took the punt in tow to St. Peter Port. Rewards to the crew, £32 5s. ; reward to the helper on shore, £1 5s..
