Dover, Kent. At 4.41 on the after- noon of the 16th of May, 1959, the coastguard at Sandgate informed the honorary secretary that two people were cut off by the tide at Big Fall, St.

Margaret's Bay. After talking with the coastguard at Deal the honorary secret- ary decided to launch the life-boat Southern Africa, which took a dinghy with her. She left her moorings at 5.1 in a gentle north-easterly wind. There was a slight swell and a flood tide. Thedinghy picked up the two people and transferred them to the life-boat, which landed them at Dover at 6.10.
