Lyreen

St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At 3.38 on the morning of the 25th of May, 1960, the signalman at St. Peter Port harbour told the honorary secretary that a red flare had been seen about four miles south of the harbour. At 4.3 the life-boat Lloyd's, on temporary duty at the station, put out half an hour after low water in a light north-north- easterly wind and a smooth sea. The life-boat found the yacht Lyreen of Lymington with her engine broken down. She took her in tow to St.

Peter Port harbour, reaching her moor- ings at six o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £7; reward to the helper on shore, 13s..
