...about to be captured at sea or on the beach, they will fire a parachute flare to signal their comrades on La Rebaude. There is no flare. The lights of a French patrol boat appear to the north, at the 12-mile limit. It motors to within 300 yds. of La Rebaude, showing its presence. Then it falls away...
