* During the action the units of the coastal
motor-boat flotilla under his command were handled in a masterly manner,
rendering the greatest service in screening and rescue work. He, himself, was
in a coastal motorboat, and was always in the most exposed positions across
the harbour entrance covering "Vindictive", "Iris II", and
"Daffodil" by smoke screen.
** The part played by the Coastal Motor Boats
during the operation was all-important. Lieut. Welman organised and led them
in a coastal motor boat in a most spirited manner. He encountered an enemy
torpedo boat near the entrance to Ostend, which switched on searchlights and
opened fire. He at once closed with her, and engaged her with Lewis guns to
such good effect that she withdrew and left the channel clear for the approach
of the blockships. |
