Howth, Co. Dublin.—At 5.25 in the evening of the 22nd of May, 1952, the Civic Guard reported that a boy had fallen down a cliff about one and a half miles from the harbour to the east of Howth Head. The life-boat R.P.L.

was launched at 5.35, taking a dinghy with her. The sea was calm. The life-boat found the boy lying on a rock about twenty feet above sea level.

Three life-boatmen rescued him in the dinghy. His back was severely in- jured. The life-boat brought him to Howth, reaching her station again at 6.30.—Rewards, £4 2s. 6d..
