FEBRUARY 8TH. - ST. HELIER, JERSEY.

At 10 A.M. news was received from a fisherman that a French fishing boat was ashore on the rocks about one mile S.E. of the island. A light northerly wind was blowing with a moderate sea. As the fishing boat was in no immediate danger, her position was inspected, before the motor life-boat Howard D. was sent to her help. She left at 3 P.M. with Lieut.-Commander T. Le B. Pirouet, the honorary secretary, on boat in order to reach the fishing boat as the tide was rising, and arrived at 4.45 P M . She found the fishing boat to be the Suzanne Renee, of Camaret. The Suzanne Renee refloated at 5 P.M., apparently undamaged, and the lifeboat escorted her to St. Helier, arriving at 6.20 P.M. A letter of thanks was received from the French consul. - Rewards, £14 7s. 3d.
