St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At 11.53 on the afternoon of the 15th of August, 1960, the honorary secretary received a message through the British Railways wireless station asking for the life-boat to go to the help of a yacht which was sinking seven miles north of Platte Fougere. The life-boat Euphrosyne Kendal put out at 12.7 in a moderate westerly breeze and a moderate sea. It was high water. The life-boat found the yacht Nomad with the R.M.S. St.

Julian standing by. The coxswain put a member of his crew on board the yacht, who reported that the yacht's crew were exhausted and that there were about three feet of water in the yacht. The member of the life-boat crew made fast a towing hawser and helped in baling during the tow back to St. Peter Port. The life-boat returned to her station at 3.30. Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, 15s..
