RESCUES OF BOYS CUT OFF BY TIDE Redcar, Yorkshire. At 4.15 on the afternoon of the 17th August, 1962, the coastguard informed the motor mechanic that three boys had been cut off by the tide at Huntcliffe, Saltburn, and that a speed boat was trying to rescue them.

A further message was received that the speed boat might have difficulty in taking the boys aboard, and at 4.25 the lifeboat City of Leeds was launched in a strong north-westerly wind and a moderate sea. It was an hour and a half before high water. On reaching the position the life-boat found that two boys had been rescued by the speed boat but the other was still on the rocks. She took him on board, and members of the crew treated him for shock. The life-boat landed him and reached her station at six o'clock..
