St. Peter Port, Guernsey. At i a.m.

on 25th August, 1965, the signal station told the honorary secretary that a red flare had been seen off the east coast of Herm Island and at i.u the life-boat Euphrosyne Kendal put to sea. There was a strong north-westerly wind, the sea was rough and the tide flooding. The lifeboat made a search and found the yacht Monie, bound from Salcombe to Guernsey, a quarter of a mile south-east of Roustel beacon with a crew of five. Her jibsheet had fouled her propeller and she was lying at anchor in a dangerous position. The life-boat towed the Monie to harbour and returned to her station at 2.17 a.m..
