Sirs,
On Friday, 31st May we 10 left Dagenham at about 10 a.m., for
Gravesend and arrived at 11.15 a.m. We picked up a pilot and then proceeded to Southend where we arrived at about 12.30 p.m. Instructions were received to tow the sailing barge "Bassildon", to Ramsgate.
Leaving Southend 1.30 p.m., we arrived at Ramsgate Harbour at about 6.30 p.m. Orders were given by the Naval Officer to take her off in the Downs, drop anchor and leave her, and proceed in harbour for further orders. We assisted craft in the Harbour - trawlers, etc., and shifted stores and barge. We had to stay on board while in the Harbour and wait for orders.

At 5 a.m. on Saturday, 1st June, I had orders to get stores and gear abaord, together with two naval ratings, and to assist tow the "Fishbourne" - a Portsmouth (Isle of Wight) ferryboard - over to Dunkirk. Taking the "Fishbourne" in tow, we left Ramsgate
Harbour about 9. 30 a.m. We towed her until 11 p.m., when we were
2 miles offDunkirk. Her Commander then told us to turn roun and get away home as soon as possible as enemy aircraft were about.
We arrived off Ramsgate Harbour at about 7.30 a.m. on Sunday, 2nd
June, and proceeded into Harbour to await orders. I had instructions to stand by, as they expected we were going over to Dunkirk again. and cook our place.
On Monday, 3rd June, steam was ordered for 6.a.m. and we told to stand by. After shifting sailing barges, etc. in Harbour, we received orders to proceed home. We left Ramsgate Harbour Sticeep about 11.15 a.m., and proceeded to the downs. We picked up the
