St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At 4.30 on the afternoon of the 16th May, 1961, the signal station reported that the yacht Overlord, which had a crew of six, had been dismasted thirty miles west of Hanois lighthouse and that the tanker Volvatella had taken off her crew and was standing by her. At 5.15, when the life-boat Euphrosyne Kendal put out, there was a strong east-north-easterly wind with a rough sea and flooding tide. About 9.50 the life-boat reached the yacht, passed a line across and put two men aboard. Two of the crew of the Overlord were taken into the life-boat, which towed the yacht to St. Peter Port, arriving at 5.10 the following morning..
