St. Ives, Cornwall.—At 4.35 in the afternoon, on the 2nd of July, 1950, the Hayle police reported a man outside the breakers off Gwithian beach, a bather, missing. At 4.58 the life-boat Edgar, George, Orlando and Eva Child was launched, accompanied by ambu- lance men. She made for the position in a smooth sea with a light easterly breeze blowing, and found a youth in about four feet of water. With the help of another boat, they got him into the life-boat, where the ambulance men applied artificial respiration, but un- successfully. The life-boat landed the body at her station at 6.7 that evening.
