TWO YOUNG MEN TRAPPED IN CAVE St. Ives, Cornwall. At 2.26 on the afternoon of the 18th February, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that two young men had been trapped by the rising tide at Smuggler's Cave, Hell's Mouth. Police and the fire brigade were on the scene, but it was agreed that the help of a boat was needed. The life-boat Edgar, George, Orlando and Eva Child was launched at 2.45. She had a skiff in tow. There was a light variable wind and a smooth sea, and it was two hours before high water. On reaching the cave the coxswain found that the firemen had a ladder in position and were hauling the two young men out of the cave through a hole half way up the cliff. The skiff stood by, and as soon as the rescue was completed the life-boat returned to her station, which she reached at 4.30..
