Salcombe, Devon. At 5.45 on the evening of the 3rd July, 1961, the coast- guard informed the honorary secretary that a party of women were stranded near the Pig's Nose. They had landed by dinghy from their motor boat Frisky, which had broken down, and three of them had climbed the cliff and given warning of the plight of the others.

These were two girls, who had been unable to climb the cliff and were stranded on a rock at the base. The Frisky had drifted away with the tide.

There was a light westerly breeze and the sea was calm. At six o'clock the life-boat Samuel and Marie Parkhouse put off on the flooding tide with a dinghy in tow. The two girls were rescued and their dinghy was towed to harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 7.45..
