ashore the 4th Engineer officer (T. 124) Terry whose nerves were not standing the strain, incidentally he had already lost his ship once in this war, the H.M.Y. Princess.
Lt. Branwell was throughout of tremendous value O slowed great energy Q efficiency.
grive proceeded slowly to the rendez-vous o whilst proceeding along the South side of the channel to Dunkiik we heard an aeroplane in the vicinity though could not see anything, a few minutes later Cabout 2230) there was a tremendous explosion Q grive was literally blown to pieces D sank in a few seconds. I
think it is probable that the plane we heard was actually sowing magretic mines in the paths being used by shipping D Grive was an immediate victim.
Together with three others of the ships company
I was picked up by a boat from a drifter
Q
I believe about a dozen others were picked up by another drifter D 3 or 4 more by a destroyer. The ships proceeded to Dun Rirk
Q took off troops o we were all landed at Ramsqate
I trust this report sir though not necessary is not tedious, but having regard to the personality of my fine old captain of to the fact that so for as I know I am the only surviving officer I felt it my duty
Q thought that you would wish to have an account of the matter
MMANDER-I I THIEF have the honour to be,

remaining; she started a trip but failed to make Dunkirk. On return, original Captain rejoined with some of the original crew. She should then have sailed at 2010/3, but the Captain reported 3 engineers short at the last minute. It was not to wait for the engineers and the Master and the new crew provided for the second time. Before further use could be made of her, however, the evacuation terminated.
9. The MONA'S QUEEN was sunk by a mine on her second voyage to Dunkirk, and the FENELLA was bombed and sunk on her first voyage.
10. The MALINES who had completed two trips, refused to sail on the 1st, left Dover at 1600 on the 2nd without orders and was subsequently found to have proceeded to Southampton.
11. It was felt that trouble might occur in the ST. HELIER
and PRINCESS MAUD, and accordingly a naval party was put on board to supplement the ships crews, and in consequence no trouble occurred,
12. The outstanding ships were the MAID OF ORLEANS 6 trips, one being diverted without completing the trip, and once returning due to collision. ROYAL DAFFODIL 7 trips, on one of which she was turned back by a French destroyer -

NAVAL MEDICAL PARTIES.
Naval Medical Officers and ratings were drafted from
H.M.S. PEMBROKE for work in Dunkirk harbour and in the larger personnel vessels on the 29th of May and 4th June.
The work carried out by the whole party was most valuable and efficient, consisting as it did of treating casualties, and operating where possible under exciting and adverse circumstances calling for initiative and improvisation.
It happened that the Medical party sent to personnel vessels voyaged in those whose civilian crews were showing signs of loss of morale, there being a disagreeable air of apprehension amongst the ship's companies. These Medical parties in the midst of their preparations did their utmost to instil better feeling amongst the officers and men of these vessels. Their conduct in all cases was in accordance with the highest traditions of the Serivce and their profession.
Recommendations.
