Clovelly, Devon. — At 4.18 on the afternoon of the 3rd of August, 1952, the Hartland Point coastguard tele- phoned that a boy was reported to be cut off by the tide at Shipload Bay, and at 4:30 the life-boat William Cantrell Ashley was launched, taking a dinghy with her. The sea was slight, with a moderate north-westerly breeze blowing. The life-boat found the boy on a rock. His father was on another rock thirty feet away, and the second coxswain and bowman took the dinghy close to the boy. The bowman jumped on to the rock, hoisted the boy on his back, and trans- ferred him to the dinghy. The father then swam to the dinghy which took him and his son to the life-boat. The life-boatmen gave them clothes and landed them at her station at 6.30 that evening.—Rewards, £15 13s..
