SEPTEMBER 5TH. - ST. PETER PORT, GUERNSEY. At 9.30 in the morning a yacht was reported off the west coast in a dangerous position, but she was not showing any signal of distress. A south-west breeze was blowing, with a slight sea. A fisherman had been on board the yacht, and found that she was the Elinor, with a crew of eight, that her sails were damaged, and her engine broken down. She was on the shore. He was unable to tow her off with his motor boat, and at 11.46 came in to St. Peter Port and asked for the motor life-boat to go out. The motor life-boat Queen Victoria was launched at 12.22.

She met the yacht in Little Rossel. By this time the yacht had started her engines again and was moving slowly. The life-boat escorted her to St. Peter Port, arriving at 1.20.
