Fowey, Cornwall.—About 4.15 in the afternoon of the 7th of August, 1948, news was received that a woman had fallen over the cliffs near Gribben Head, and the motor life-boat C.D.E.C., with a small boat in tow, was launched at 4.35. A strong south-south-east wind was blowing, with a rough sea and rain. The life-boat found that a doctor and Sea Scouts from a nearby camp had already gone to the woman's help. She was put in the small boat, but she was too badly hurt to be trans- ferred to the life-boat. With the boat in tow and the doctor and several friends of the injured woman on board, the life-boat made for Fowey which she reached at a quarter past six.

There, an ambulance which the life- boat had asked for by wireless, was waiting to take the woman to hospital.
