Weymouth, Dorsetshire.—At 7.15 in the evening of the 4th of September, 1949, the coastguard reported that a man had fallen over White Nose cliffs. In fine weather the life-boat John and Mary Meiklam of Gladswood—on temporary duty at the station—left her moorings at 7.20 p.m. with a doctor on board and a small boat in tow. She found the man on the rocks, where the doctor treated him. He was then taken into the life-boat, and transferred to a waiting ambulance when the life-boat reached harbour again at 10.15 p.m. The injured man later expressed his thanks.
