Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 5.30 on the evening of the 20th of August, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secre- tary that a man had fallen over the cliff at Monkstone beach, and that a doctor who was attending him had asked for the life-boat. At 5.42 the life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched, towing a punt. The weather was calm and the tide was flooding. The life- boat reached the position, and the injured man, who had a fractured skull, the doctor and two of the man's rela- tions were taken aboard the punt. They were then transferred to the life-boat, which reached her station at 6.15.Rewards to the crew, £8 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 17s..
