THE Royal Humane Society has awarded its testimonial on vellum to Mr. Harry Davis of Camborne, who swam out from a cave near St. Ives on the 9th of August, 1958, in order to summon help for a party stranded in the cave. As a result the St. Ives' life-boat was called out and effected the rescue which was described in the December 1958 number of the Life-boat on page 130.

Mr. Davis tried to scale a cliff, but when he was twenty-five feet up slipped and dropped back into the sea. He then swam another hundred yards and managed to climb the cliff at another point..
