St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At 8.15 p.m. on 3rd January, 1964, the duty signalman informed the honorary secretary that red and white flares had been seen on the west coast. There was a gentle southerly breeze with a slight sea, and it was high water. The life-boat EuphrosyneKendal left at 9.7 and met the yacht Airy Mouse which although in the area had not seen any flares. It was assumed that the combination of her sails and navigation lights had produced the effect of flares. The life-boat returned to harbour with the yacht in tow and reached her station at 11.50. The life-boat was also called out on 2nd January, 1964..
