FALL FROM CLIFF Swanage, Dorset. At 3.13 p.m. on I3th October, 1963, the coastguard told the assistant honorary secretary that a man had fallen over the cliff by Anvil Point. At 3.20 the life-boat R.L.P. was launched in a gentle north-westerly breeze and a slight sea. It was two hours after low water. The life-boat proceeded to the position, where the coxswain anchored her, and brought the life-boat's stern close in between the rocks. A line was passed to two men who had climbed down the cliff to the body. The body was embarked and taken to the slipway where the police, a doctor and an ambulance were waiting.

The life-boat, after leaving the body in police custody, returned to her station at 4.52..
