NOTES FOR THE CHAIRMAN, SIR ARTHUR M. SUTHERLAND, BART. K.B.E. m.v. "BEAL" This vessel made one trip assisting in the Dunkirk evacuation. Crew list attached. She brought back a full load of troops. An A.B., A.D.C.Hall of 33, Normount Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, swam a considerable distance to the shore with a line attached to his body in order to make arrangements for towing off boats. The Bo'sun, .Storey of 12, Ransome Crescent, Macton Estate, Ipswich, and the 2nd Engineer, W.G.

"SANDHILL" This vessel arrived at Dunkirk on Friday, 24th May, with a cargo of about 940 tons of high explosives. There were no electric cranes available and the vessel had to discharge with her own gear. A large proportion of the cargo was discharged under heavy air raids before the vessel was finally ordered to leave Dunkirk. The whole crew behaved splendidly and the Captain especially mentioned the Chief Officer, Mr D.K. Wright, whose address is c/o Mrs Relf, 30, South Road, Newhaven, Sussex. Crew list attached. The draft of the "Foremost 22" is 13 feet aft. and the tide was ebb, it being about 2½ hours after high water. When I arrived in Dunkerque Roads there were a large number of other vessels in the vicinity, both large and small. There was some confusion owing to the heavy bombardment from the shore and the activity of hostile aircraft. Just after 11 p.m. I heard the sound of a heavy collision close to my vessel. -1- P.T.O
