St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At 5.43 on the morning of the 8th August, 1961, a message was received that a small speed boat with two people on board had made fast to Jethon buoy and was in danger of being swamped. A near gale was blowing from the west with a very rough sea. The tide was ebbing.

At 6.12 the life-boat Euphrosyne Kendal put to sea. She reached the speed boat Rikiki of Guernsey and rescued the two people on board. The Rikiki was than secured to the buoy with addi- tional ropes, as conditions were too bad for her to be taken in tow. After landing the two people at St. Peter Port the life-boat returned to her station, which she reached at 7.20..
