COMBINED OPERATIONS FOR CLIFF ACCIDENT St. Ives, Cornwall. At 4.48 p.m. on Wednesday the 7th of August, 1963, the St. Ives coastguard told the honorary secretary that a man had fallen over the cliffs at Hellesveor and that a rescue team had gone to his aid. It was not certain whether he had fallen into the sea and it was decided to send the lifeboat to search the foot of the cliffs. The life-boat Edgar, George, Orlando and Eva Child launched at 5.8 in a light variable wind and a slight sea. It was two hours before high water when she reached the Hellesveor and the coxswain could see that the cliff party had laid the man on a stretcher and were about to haul him up the cliff. The life-boat stood by until the man had been safely hauled up the cliff and then returned to her station, arriving at 10.15..
