LOG of H.M. Motor Boat LADY CABLE of Torquay during operations carried out June 2nd and 3rd, 1940.
In command: Acting Sub-Lieutenant G.A. Cadell, R.N.
Cadet Rating G.R. Price
Stokev Worsall
Able Seaman or Ordinary Seaman Smith from Newfoundland.
Sunday, June 2nd, 1940.
Took over boat during forenoon from Mr. Gooding who operates boat for owner at Torquay. She had done one trip to the beaches near Dunkirk. Took on provisions, water, petrol, etc. Mr. Gooding showed Stoker Norsall the working of the engines Cylinder Atlantic - running CD petrol.
At about 1500 went over to Prince of Wales Pier and was then taken in tow by SUN VI, together with two life-boats and one other craft. Started for Dunkirk at approximately
1530, having been handed previously copy of Sailing
Instructions to Drifters, together with rough sketch map of course to follow. After uneventful trip arrived off
Dunkirk harbour at about 2230 and received orders to proceed in harbour and go a long way up the Mole to embark soldiers - fill up and return to tug, then go in for further loads. At times had difficulty in persuading
French troops to embark in LADY CABLE, the reason apparently being reluctance to break their units or to act without definite orders from their officer who was probably still in the town of Dunkirk. However, we took four boat loads off - each load containing between 40 and 50 soldiers.
Three loads I took to tugs - and one to H.M.S. WISHART when tug was not in usual position. Spoke to tug after fourth trip and was informed that it would soon be light and that she could'nt wait much longer. In reply to a question if any British officers were still left on the Mole, I replied that on earlier trips I had seen one who had asked me not to leave him behind. This officer was engaged in helping the embarkation of the troops. 1 had not seen him on my last trip but told tug I would make another trip to see if he was there. Informed tug would be as quick as possible and if tug could not wait, would return to England under own power. Tug said she could only wait a short while.
On going in for fifth time engines began to go badly and stopped altogether before reaching point of embarkation.
Engines got going again and we went alongside and collected about 24 more French soldiers. There was no sign of British officer and Price reported to me that French on the Mole told him he had gone. I sent Price up on to the Mole to make enquiries. Owing to the improbability or tug waiting for us, I only took 24 soldiers as a greater number would have made trip back to England under own power too hazardous.

especially as I was patially incapacitated by a wound on my left foot.
As we were a long way from the French coast I decided that there was very little chance of HAIG falling into enemy hands and that no doubt help would soon be forthcoming in reply to the wireless message I had asked X440 to send.
I hauled down HAIG's ensign and took it aboard LADY CABLE and we tried to make towards the English coast. Unfortunately the engine kept stopping and we made very slow progress and finally nothing would make our engine start again. We drifted helplessly for several hours and then sighted a Bell
Buoy which I believe may have been the N.W. Goodwin Bell
Buoy, but we did not get close enough to make sure. At last we sighted a warship and waved HAIG's White Ensign to try to attractattention. We were seen and the ship altered course towards us and came up close to LADY CABLE. She was the French transport ROUEN of Dieppe and was packed with troops from Dunkirk. An officer asked what I wanted and I
told him that we were broken down and asked to be taken abcard. To my surprise my appeal was met with a blunt
"No" with no explanation, and the ROUEN steamed away.
My crew and I felt angry at this in view of the fact that we had rescued over 200 French soldiers during the night.
No doubt the ROUEN had good reasons for not taking us aboard but no explanation was given and I would like if possible to discover why she was unable to help us.
Luckily another ship some considerable distance away had noticed the ROUEN and observed that she had not picked us up. This ship was the CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH and she came up and took us in tow to the Downs where she was bound for in ballast. On arrival in the Downs where CITY OF
CHRISTCHURCH dropped anchor, we were able to start up the engine of LADY CABLE and I decided once again to try to make for Dover. However, we broke down after a run of about
15 minutes and were picked up by a tug (Operational - I
don't know her name). She had orders to proceed to Ramsgate with H.M. Drifter VIKING in tow and was about to do this when we broke down near her. She towed us to the VIKING
and I boarded the VIKING to have my injured foot attended to and get some rest. VIKING and LADY CABLE were towed round to Ramsgate where we arrived about 2100. I was landed and taken to "Merrie England" and then to Ramsgate General
Hospital.
The Commanding Officer of VIKING at my request reported the return of LADY CABLE and that one member of my crew,
Cadet Rating Price was missing but might be aboard French warship X440. He also reported direct to C. in C., Dover, about HAIG. A little later, while I was still at "Merrie
England", the Commanding Officer of VIKING arrived to tell me that he had been informed from Dover that HAIG was safe.
Unfortunately he had no news for me of Cadet Rating Price.
The behaviour of my crew throughout the operation had been magnificent. The taking off or over 200 French troops and 6 British from the Mole was conducted quickly and calmly under difficult and hazardous conditions. Later,
Cadet Rating Price's work in helping to get the HAIG alongside LADY CABLE cannot be too highly praised. Without the great initiative and efficiency he displayed the operation would not have been successful and the HAIG would have drifted ashore to the S.W. of Dunkirk.

Both ships arrived off this beach at 0100 and sent boats inshore, the ships being manceurered closer in as the tide rose.
By 0615 the beaches had been cleared and
"Grafton", "Grayhound", "Calcutta" and three paddle steamers sailed. (Number of soldiers approximately 100)
Whilst returning to Dover "Greyhound" was detached to escort S.S. Dorrien Rose who had on board survivors of "Queen of the Channel;ultimately berthing at Admiralty Pier at 1230 28th.May. After discharging troops Greghound proceeded to Dunkirk and went alongside the pier as soon as a billet was vacant.It was found difficult to count the troops as they came aboard and the numbers appeared to be regulated from forther down the pier where detachments were assembled and detailed.

SECRET.
Appendix II. to report of sinking of H.M.S. GRENADE.
After the explosion aft I observed a large number of ratings blown into the oily water, several of whom were badly injured. With the aid of the Gunner T. I cut away the lashings of the after Carley float and launched it. I swam after the drifting float and with the mutual help of one or two ratings we hauled each other on board.
I then collected the seriously injured and one or two uninjured men.
The First Lieutenant was heard to order men to remain in the ship and I took the float back to the ship collecting a steward en route. The ship lurched heavily to port as I reached the side and since the forecastle was blazing I ordered the raft to stand off.
At this juncture another rating was observed in a patch of oil fuel about 40 yards from the ship. I rescued this man with the float and took in tow a T.S.O.'s float which was supporting two P.Os who had since abandoned ship. Two destroyers and two trawlers passed without stopping and a French tug landed our party on the west side of the docks amid the blazing ruins. An ambulance picked up our party and proceeded towards the heart of the town. When the ambulance stopped for more casualties the party disambarked, and were forced to leave one seriously injured seaman (Coates) who was then taken to the base military hospital. At this point a lost Bren gun crew joined forces and the idea of escaping to England in a small boat was formulated.
I took the whole party, eight sailors and eight soldiers, and proceeded on the carrier to the docks. A gendarme prevented our embarcation in a drifter, the captain of which had signified his willingness to take us. We then proceeded on the carrier towards the eastern jetty, but our progress was halted by a blazing ammunition lorry. The commencement of intense aerial bombardment forced up to seek shelter in the vaults where Army officers and men provided us with dry clothing etc.
I then reported the Naval party to the S.N.O. Dunkirque and after suggesting we remained in the town he gave the party full permission

1193
-190
187
to seek a boat and sail to England. We made our way towards the pier and P.O. Emery and myself became detached from the main party. In the course of a talk with a French soldier I discovered he possessed a motor boat with which he was desirous of escaping to England. P.O.
Emery sought out and brought along the remainder of the party, including the Bren gun crew and with P.O. Bennãon managed to embark the whole party, with equipment, and against the wishes of the Frenchman.
Then after considerable tactful persuasion and adjustment of top weight, plus the encouragement of casting off the painter, the engine was started and the bows pointed towards England at 21.00/29.
P.O. Bennion took the wheel and I shaped a course for the harbour nouth and channel buoys. After darkness fell I checked my compass on the stars and found it had a variation of about 10°W. I was then able to set a course for the S.E. coast of England. All lights were extinguished outside the small cabin and most of the party fell asleep after having eaten a little food. The boat was well equipped with fuel and stores and the small engine gave us an estimated speed of five knots.
The trip across was uneventful. The engine was stopped to allow a German diesel engined boat to pass. Several destroyers and other craft passed us, while we passed one floating mine which I decided to leave untouched. At 03.30 the engine stopped and about the same time two drifters have in sight. I decided to hail the drifter because I
was uncertain of my position, having no chart or maps. The drifter altered course towards us and took us aboard and the boat in tow. I
found my position to be about 15 miles S.S. of Ramsgate and I estimate that my course made good would have brought us to a point S. of
Ramsgate (Deal?) at about 08.00 on Thursday, May 30th.
P.O. Bennion remained at the wheel continuously from 21.00 to
02.00 and with P.O. Emery brought the wounded seaman safely to the
Naval base in spite of attempts by the Army to claim him as a casualty.
The two P.Os. mentioned carried out all duties with precision and showed great initiative in the handling of the situation. The behaviour of

1193
183
the naval party was exemplary and their unflagging energy and support enabled us to escape and at the same time bring eight English and two French soldiers safely to England.

51. As the ship was getting lower the order to abandon ship was given and the majority of nen, who were able to find some timber to hold on to or to find & place in the floats, left the ship. At this moment the enemy launched a further dive bombing attack and a bomb struck our exposed starboard side in the engine room, making a large hole. Several bonks fell very close to and one fell among the nen who had abandoned ship. The aircraft were engaged by pom poms and lewis guns.
52. Some twnety minutes later the tug "St. Abbs" was sighted and eventually came alongside to take men off the ship.
This she did with the exception of volunteers who remained or.
board. She was ordered to go and pick up "Keith's" men in the water.
In this she was assisted by the tug "Vincia" which took back to Margate: Lieutenant Beauchamp, 88 ratings from
"Keith" and about ten of the General Headquarters Staff, together with six seriously injured ratings.
A grey accor also assisted and recovered Lieutenant
Verney, Pay. Sub. Lieutenant Craig-Waller, R.N.V.R., and about four of "Keith's" men. Having a full load of soldiers, she returned to England.
53. "Keith" was again bombed by dive bombers at this time.
54. After an interval, in which a search was made for wounded and any confidential matter remaining, the tug "St.
Abbs" returned and, the ship now being not only immoveable but without H.A. ammunition and sinking slowly, the remaining men left the ship in her at about 0840.

In accordance with your Memo. No.2912 of 6th June, 1940,
I have the honour to submit the following narrative.
On Wednesday 29th May, at 1700, "Olvina" proceeded to
Dover in company with "Topaze". During the night she became detached and reached Dover independently at 1045/30 May. The
Examination Vessel was hailed for instructions, and at 1230
orders were received to proceed to the Downs, where the
Examination Vessel would have our sailing orders. This ship, which was engaged in towing a steamer off the Goodwins, directed us to the Examination Tug at the North Goodwin Light
Vessel, where we anchored at 1545 to await instructions from the shore, since the Tug had no orders for us. At 1810 orders were received to proceed to Bray beaches, 6 miles east of
Dunkirk, to pick up troops.
At 2210 the anchor was dropped 1 mile to east of Dunkirk when visibility was very low owing to smoke clouds. Orders were then received from a destroyer to investigate a reported enemy M.T.B. 2 miles to eastward. Anchor was weighed at 2221, and we steamed to Bray beaches without encountering the M.T.B.
Pilotage was somewhat hazardous in the intense darkness, owing to wrecks obstructing the channel, and at 2345 the anchor was dropped as close inshore as possible.
The ship's boat was taken away soon after midnight, and brought off two loads of troops totalling 32, including one stretcher which was put aboard a destroyer. Owing to deterioration case, of conditions, no more troops were embarked until daylight, when the boat was pulled ashore on two more occasions.

I gave orders for the port boat to be lowered and three hand rowed into the shore with instructions to fill up a motor launch and fetch the troops back to us. After being ashore for an hour trying to get a motor launch and failing, they brought back a boat load of troops. During this time TO were under heavy attacks from the enemy in the form of bombing, machine gunning and artillery fire. Sent boat ashore again with three fresh hands and proceeded to load a notor boat with troops, another air raid taking place in which four bombs were dropped quite close to us and lifted boat out of water, luckily nobody was hurt but the boat was useless having opened all her was $old that the tide was just right for beaching.
