Filey, Yorkshire. At 9.30 on the even- ing of the 19th August, 1961, the coast- guard requested the honorary secretary to launch the life-boat to illuminate the cliff base where four people had been cut off by the tide. At 10.3 the maroons were fired, but the launching of the life- boat was cancelled when the policereported that the stranded people had been brought up the cliffs. It was learnt later that only one person had been brought up the cliff, and at 10.42, following a police request, the life-boat The Isa & Penryn Milsted was launched on the flooding tide. There was a slight sea with a gentle north-north-westerly breeze. The life-boat's searchlight illu- minated the cliffs while the coastguard life-saving apparatus team were lowered to the stranded men, who were brought to safety. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 1.30 in the morning..
