Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 8.30 on the evening of the 3rd of April, 1959, the honorary secretary received a message that three pedigree cows had fallen over a cliff at Manorbier. Two of the cows were in a position which was inaccessible from the shore, and the other one had been killed. A request for the assistance of the life-boat was received by the honorary secretary, and at 8.40 the life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched. She took a dinghy in tow. The weather was fine with a calm sea and a gentle off-shore breeze ; the tide was ebbing. The life- boat made for Swanlake Bay, and when she reached the position given two members of her crew manned the punt.

In the very heavy surf the punt capsized twice, and it was decided to postpone any attempt to rescue the animals until first light, when it would be nearly high water. The life-boat returned to harbour at 1.40 and reached the position near the cliff once more at 5.30. The two cows were taken in tow to the beach, and the life-boat returned to her station at 10.52. The farmer expressed his thanks. Rewards to the crew, £26 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 12s. The R.S.P.C.A. awarded a framed certificate of merit to the coxswain and crew " for their courage and humanity "..
