STUDENTS RESCUED Clovelly, Devon. At 3.50 p.m. on yth May, 1964, the life-boat coxswain reported that two students on holiday had taken a hired rowing boat westward beyond Gallantry Bower. As they would have been unable to return against the ebbing tide and strong southerly wind, the life-boat Clara and Emily Earwell, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 4 p.m. She found the boat one mile off Mouth Mill Bay, rescued the students, and towed the boat to harbour.

She returned to her station at 4.50..
