Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 11.15 on the night of the 15th of July, 1958, the honorary secretary received a message that a man had fallen down a cliffside and was lying injured on Skrinkle beach. At 11.30 the life-boat C.D.E.C., on temporary duty at the station, put out in calm weather, taking a punt with her. It was low water. The life-boat reached the position, and the punt was sent in to bring the man out to her. He was landed at Lydstep haven, where an ambulance took him to hospital.

The life-boat finally reached her station at 2.30 in the morning. Rewards to the crew, £12 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 3s..
