mostly colonial French troops; they

times necessary to make a line fast
to them and pull them off. While
Saltash was alongside and on board

Shortly after, the Keith was repeatedly
attacked by strong formations of
bombers, put out of action and
abandoned. During this period,
the Hilda remained under way, zig-
zagging (as apart from the Keith and
the M/S Skipjack, there was little
else for the A/C to attack).
The Hilda at once proceeded to
rescue Keith's survivors, and assisted
by M/B's, recovered a large number,
including 2 British brigadiers and a
French general. (2) While so engaged,

HOWSON. Captain J.M., R.N. (N.O.I.C. beaches)
Report by
29th May
At 1600 an additional beach party of 7 officers
[among them Cdr. H.G. Gorton, R.N. and Cdr.
R.J.O. Otway-Ruthven, R.N. under Captain J.M.
Howson, R.N. was sailed from Dover in the dr.
Sabre for Dunkirk. [Captain E.W. Bush, D.S.C.,
R.N., who had already visited Dunkirk, also
took passage in the Sabre, to act as S.N.O.
Afloat off the beaches, in the M/8 Hebel.
"on leaving Dover", says Capt. Howson, "the
intention had been that ..... my officers
should work on the beaches in two batches either
side of Bray, and that I should either double-
bank the S.N.O. [Capt. Tennant, R.N., S.N.O.
Dunkirk] or alternatively, work on the beaches,
with H.Q. at or near Bray, the whole being
subject to S.N.O.'s [capt. Tennant's] wishes
on arrival".
On the party's arrival at Dunkirk, Capt.
Tennant was found to be away on a visit to
Lord Gort at La Panne, and Capt. Howson was not
able to confer with him until 2300/29. On
his return to Dunkirk Capt. Tennant decided that
he did not wish to be double-banked.
At about 2330 Capt. Howson therefore divided his
force into 2 parties; one party under Cdr.
Gorton, proceeded along the beach to work east
of Bray, the other, under Cdr. Otway-Ruthven
proceeded to Bray. Capt. Howson went with the
latter party.
30th May
About 0100, a boat from the M/S Medway Queen,
which was anchored off, was hailed. A second
pulling boat and later a power boat also
appeared. Troops in the vicinity were hailed
and some 700-750 were sent off by early morning.
Later, the Sp. S/V Crested Eagle was passed,
high and dry, and still burning after being
bombed.
on approaching Bray, at about 0300, Capt.
Howson saw 4 or 5 destroyers and minesweepers,
and some skoots off shore; men were embarking
in the few odd boats that were available.
Several boats were ashore, holed, or without
oars.
Capt. Howson made contact with Corps H.Q. in a
house at Bray at about 0600 and met Cdr.
Gorton. He also met some naval officers
[probably the beach party working under Cdre.
T.H. Hallett, C.B., C.B.E., R.N.] who had been
working on the beach before his arrival
[1.e. since 2330, 29th May].
It was then about 0800, and Capt. Howson proceeded
by motor cycle to La Panne where he met Care.
J.S. Dove, O.B.E., R.N., who took him to see
the Q.M.G. with whom he discussed the situation.
Having learnt of R.A. Dover's presence in a
ship lying off [the M/S Hebe], Capt. Howson
signalled to him the urgent need of boat
keepers. Throughout this day, says Capt.
Howson, vast bodies of French troops covered
the beaches and dunes on their westward
march to Malo; fortunately the visibility was
poor. "More and more British troops continued
to arrive, but there were practically no ships
for them to embark in and only a few boats and
pontoon craft and perhaps a couple of power
boats. An A.L.C. A.L.C.5 operating off La
