Falmouth, Cornwall.—At 2.30 early on the morning of the 3rd of March, 1954, the Fire Brigade reported that firemen at Rosemullion Head were hauling two men up a cliff. The men had been in a fourteen-feet dinghy with another man, but the dinghy had been wrecked. The third man had been injured and had been left in the dinghy and the firemen asked for the life-boat.

At three o'clock the life-boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare put out in a rough sea with a fresh west-north-west breeze blowing. By the help of her searchlight the injured man was found dead. The life-boat's services were then no longer needed, and she returned to her station, arriving at 5.30.—Rewards, £8 15s..
