St Mary's, Scilly Isles - At 9 a.m.

on 29th January, 1967, news was received that the Dutch coaster Bree-Helle was in rough seas 10 miles west of Rund Island lighthouse. She was carrying a heavy deck cargo and wished to shelter in the lee of the islands. She had asked if the life-boat would escort her in. The lifeboat Guy and Clare Hunter was launched at 9.35 in a strong gale force south westerly wind and a very rough sea. She met the coaster and put the second coxswain aboard her. The life-boat then escorted the Bree-Helle into St. Mary's Pool, and returned to her station at 12.30 p.m..
