New Quay, Cardiganshire.—At 4.0 on the afternoon of the 31st of August, 1951, the police telephoned that a man had fallen down a cliff between Llan- granog and Penbryn Beach. The sea was too rough for a shore boat to put out, so the Coastguard Life-saving Company went to the scene. But at 5.40 they asked for the life-boat; and at 6.10 the life-boat St. Albans was launched, in a very rough sea with a moderate westerly breeze blowing, she made for the foot of the cliff and found the man dead. Two other men werewith him. The life-boat passed a breeches buoy across, took the body and the two men on board and landed them at her station at 9.55 that night.
