At 6.22 on the evening of the 8th of August, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a body had been reported floating three hundred yards north- north-east of Trevose lighthouse. No other boat being available, the life-boat Joseph Hiram Chadwick put out in a gentle north-westerly breeze and a slight sea. It was one hour before high water.

The dead body was recovered, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriv- ing at 8.30. Rewards to the crew, £5; rewards to the helper on shore, 12s..
