GIRL RESCUED FROM CLIFF FACE Howth, Co. Dublin. At 7.57 on the evening of the 15th July, 1962, the Howth garda informed the honorary secretary that the local fire brigade had been called to rescue a girl who was unable to climb up a cliff half a mile north of Daily lighthouse. The fire brigade could not reach her, and the help of the life-boat was asked for.

There was a light north-easterly breeze with a smooth sea. At 8.3 the life-boat R.P.L. was launched on the flooding tide, with the life-boat punt in tow.

When the position given was reached the girl was taken off the cliffs by the punt and put on board the life-boat.

She was suffering greatly from fright.

The life-boat landed the girl at the west pier and then returned to her station, arriving at 1.10 in the morning..
