St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At nine o'clock on the morning of the 24th Sep- tember, 1961, relatives of the crew of five of the yacht Airy Mouse telephoned the honorary secretary to say the yacht, which had left Alderney at 11.30 the morning before for St. Peter Port, was overdue. The honorary secretary made several enquiries, and at 10.4 the life- boat Euphrosyne Kendal left her moor- ings in a light westerly breeze and a calm sea. The tide was half ebb. The launch Highland Laddie then wirelessed that she had found the missing yacht east of Herm. The life-boat made for this posi- tion and found that the yacht had been becalmed and had drifted round the island through the night, as she had not enough power to overcome the spring tides. The life-boat took her in tow to St. Peter Port, arriving at 11.18.
