Salcombe, Devon. At 5.16 on the afternoon of the 1st of September, 1958, the coastguard at Bolt Head told the honorary secretary that a woman had fallen over a cliff between Sewer Mill Cove and Bolberry Down. The life- boat Samuel and Marie Parkhouse put out with the second coxswain in com- mand at 5.30 in a calm sea. There was a light south-westerly wind and the tide was flooding. The life-boat was nearing the position when she met the pleasure boat Janet, whose master told the coxswain he had seen signals from the cliff top while returning from Hope Cove. He had therefore gone ashore in a dinghy and picked up the woman, who was lying in the water. She had died from her injuries. The Janet had towed the dinghy with the body aboard, and the life-boat now took over the tow and brought the dinghyto Salcombe, where the body was handed over to the police. The life- boat reached her moorings at 7.15.
