Swanage, Dorset.—At 2.30 on the afternoon of the 31st of July, 1954, when the life-boat was about to be launched for the life-boat flag-day, a police sergeant told the coxswain that a woman was missing and was thought to be on a cliff at Anvil Point. The life-boat put out at once in a smooth sea. A light south-westerly breeze was blowing, and it was two hours after high water. She found the woman on a ledge at the foot of a cliff at Tilly whim caves, cut off by the tide. The life-boat went as close in- shore as she could, and the second coxswain swam about twenty yards to the woman. He helped her to climb to the top of the cliff, and the life-boat left the position at 3.10. She remained afloat until 4.30.—Rewards, £7 15*..
