Newhaven, Sussex.—At 4.20 on the afternoon of the 7th of June, 1954, the coastguard telephoned that some boys had been cut off by the tide at Crow- link, and at 4.40 the life-boat Cecil and Lilian Philpott was launched.

She took a dinghy with her. The sea was moderate, a light south-easterly breeze was blowing, and it was high water. The life-boat found three boys, and three life-boatmen put off in the dinghy. Because of the state of the sea it was decided not to take the bovs on board, but to stand by until they could make their way along the foot of the cliffs. The boys eventually reached Birling Gap, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 6.30.—Rewards, £7 Is..
