Since the June 1963 number of the Life-boat went to press the owners of the Johan Collett, the Norwegian motor vessel to whose assistance the St. Peter Port life-boat went on 5th February, have made a substantial donation to the Institution's funds.

It was for this service that Coxswain Hubert Petit was awarded the gold medal for gallantry.
