Portpatrick, Wigtownshire. At 4.38 on the afternoon of the 21st May, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a man had fallen over a cliff. Ten minutes later, when the life- boat Jeanie put to sea, with the boarding boat in tow and a doctor aboard, there was a light south-westerly wind with a slight sea. It was high water. The life- boat found the man unconscious at the foot of the cliffs two miles north of Portpatrick and took him to Port- patrick, where he was transferred to a waiting ambulance at 5.35..
