COASTGUARDSMAN LOWERED TO MAN AFTER CLIFF FALL Sennen Cove, Cornwall. At 7.17 on the evening of the 9th May, 1962, the coastguard told the coxswain that a man was thought to be trapped on the cliffs at Lands End, but that he could not be seen from the top of the cliffs. At 7.31 the life-boat Susan Ashley was launched in a light west-south-westerly wind and a choppy sea. It was two hours before high water. When the life-boat reached the position the coxswain could see that a coastguardsman had been lowered over the cliff and that another man was lying on a ledge of rock. The coastguard asked the coxswain if he could fetch a punt, as it would be difficult to hoist the man, who was badly injured, up the cliff, and the life-boat therefore returned to Sennen Cove. She took on board three more men to man the punt and made for Lands End again. In difficult conditions the punt was taken alongside the cliffs, but the man had died of his injuries. His body was lowered thirty feet into the punt, and the life-boat towed the punt to Sennen Cove, arriving at 8.55..
