New Quay, Cardiganshire.—At 9.0 in the morning of the I Oth of February, 1952, the police telephoned that a man had been missing from his home since five o'clock the previous evening and was thought to have fallen over a cliff.

Search parties had gone out but had not found him, and at ten o'clock the life-boat St. Allans was launched in a smooth sea with a light westerly breeze blowing. She found the man's body on Coybal beach, two miles west of New Quay, brought it to the harbour and reached her station again at 12.15 that afternoon.—Rewards, £13 12s. 6d..
