CUT OFF BY THE TIDE Ramsgate, Kent.—At 12.25 in the afternoon of the 3rd of August, 1947, the police reported that two men had been cut off by the rising tide on a rock off the western undercliff. The motor life-boat Prudential left her moorings at 12.33, with a rowing boat in tow, in a light south-westerly breeze, but heavy ground swell, and found the two men on a rock about one mile from the harbour entrance. Neither could swim.

The life-boatmen took them off in the rowing boat, -and rowed them to the life-boat which arrived back at her station at 1.25.—Rewards, £6 13s..
