SEARCH FOR TWO BOYS IN DINGHY Padstow, Cornwall. At 11.50 on the night of the 2nd May, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the harbour master at Newquay had reported that two boys, who had left Newquay at 8.30 in the evening in a small dinghy, were missing. At 12.15 the life-boat Joseph Hiram Chadwick left her moorings in a light northeasterly wind and a slight sea. It was low water. Shortly afterwards a message was received from the coastguard that a small dinghy could be seen tied astern of a French fishing boat, which was anchored a quarter of a mile south-east of Newquay Head. The message was passed to the coxswain by radio-telephone, and the life-boat made for the fishing boat. The two boys were found to be on board her, and they were transferred to the life-boat, which then took the dinghy in tow to Newquay. After the two boys and the dinghy had been landed the life-boat returned to her station, which she reached at five o'clock in the morning..
