Dear Sir,
I arrived at H.M.S. Wildfire at 1800 on Wednesday
the 29th May direct from H.M.S. King Alfred.
I was appointed
to M.Y. "Jong" (a standard Thornycroft 36' twin screw motor cruiser
central cockpit type) the following morning and put to sea in
company at 1400.
We were escorted to Ramsgate by H.M.T. Strathelliot
where we arrived at 2200.
There we received our instructions
and proceeded to Dunkirk arriving at about 0930 Friday.
I immediately went to at spot about 3 miles northeast
of the harbour anchored my boat and let her drift as close to the
shore as possible.
I then floated a life line ashore by
means of a life buoy.
Immediately an English soldier
came out to me followed by about a dozen Belgians. I experienced
considerable difficulty in getting these men aboard as there was
about 3 ft of freeboard at the stern of "Jong". However, we got
every man aboard and took them to a Scoot. I then returned to
the beach and this time rigged the falls of one of the dinghy davits
Again I sent the life line ashore and when the men came out to me
I went overboard and hooked the lower block on to the back of
their waist belts and my crew hauled them aboard quite easily.
I continued this operation during the day and also
ran messages for the Captain of a steam hopper who wanted the
services of an experienced engineer off another ship.
During the afternoon I took my boat alongside a
supply lighter .that had been drifted ashore.
There were a
number of British soldiers on board and these men I took off.
Others were still coming to the opposite side of the lighter and
experienced difficulty in getting aboard it.
I went on to the

Dear Sir,
I arrived at H.M.S. Wildfire at 1800 on Wednesday
the 29th May direct from H.M.S. King Alfred.
I was appointed
to M.Y. "Jong" (a standard Thornycroft 36' twin screw motor cruiser
central cockpit. type) the following morning and put to sea in
company at 1400.
We were escorted to Ramsgate by H.M.T. Strathelliot
where we arrived at 2200.
There we received our instructions
and proceeded to Dunkirk arriving at about 0930 Friday.
I immediately went to at spot about 3 miles northeast
of the harbour anchored my boat and let her drift as close to the
shore as possible.
I then floated a life line ashore by
means of a life buoy.
Immediately an English soldier
came out to me followed by about a dozen Belgians. I experienced
considerable difficulty in getting these men aboard as there was
about 3 ft of freeboard at the stern of "Jong". However, we got
every man aboard and took them to a Scoot.
I then returned to
the beach and this time rigged the falls of one of the dinghy davits
Again I sent the life line ashore and when the men came out to me
I went overboard and hooked the lower block on to the back of
their waist belts and my crew hauled them aboard quite easily.
I continued this operation during the day and also
ran messages for the Captain of a steam hopper who wanted the
services of an experienced engineer off another ship.
During the afternoon I took my boat alongside a
supply lighter that had been drifted ashore.
There were a
number of British soldiers on board and these men I took off.
Others were still coming to the opposite side of the lighter and
experienced difficulty in getting aboard it.
I went on to the
