NOV. 23RD. - ST. PETER PORT, GUERNSEY. At 8 A.M. Mrs. R. W. Hathaway, La Dame de Sark, telephoned that a French trawler had anchored near Havre Gosselin, Sark. A fresh S.W. gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. At 8.25 A.M.. the motor life-boat Queen Victoria was launched. She found the armed French naval trawler B.3035 anchored, with a disabled engine, on a lee shore. She attempted to take the trawler in tow but was not successful.

The S.S. New Fawn was then summoned and took the trawler in tow. The life-boat escorted both vessels and took over the tow from the pier heads at St. Peter Port to an anchorage inside the harbour. She returned to her station at 6.30 P.M. An increase in the usual money reward on the standard scale was made to each member of the crew.

- Standard rewards to crew and helpers, £8 1 1s . additional rewards to crew, £2 12s. 6d. ; total rewards, £11 3s. 6d.
