MTB 102 - 08.00 hrs Saturday, 1st June 1940

As the ship was now settling, Rear-Admiral Wake-Walker transferred from the Keith to MTB 102; the order to abandon ship was given, and most of the men left her. At this moment a further series of dive bombing attacks shook the ship with near misses which landed amongst the men in the water.
