FROGMEN SEARCHED At 12.10 a.m. on 3rd June, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the Carmarthenshire police had asked for the life-boat's help in searching for a boy who had apparently fallen over the cliffs between Mount Head and Aberporth.

At 12.30 the life-boat Howard Marry at was launched at high water, with a slight sea and very light wind.

Visibility was poor and though the search was carried on for several hours, nothing was found. At 8.30 the life-boat returned to her station. The body of the boy was found at the end of a day's search by frogmen..
