RESCUE FROM ROCKS At 8.15 p.m. on 24th May, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the local life-saving apparatus team was on its way to the Little Orme because two young men were stranded. At 8.30 the life-boat The Lilly Wainwright was launched with a dinghy in tow as the police had reported that the life-saving apparatus would be unable to reach the young men from the shore. There was a moderate to fresh east-south-easterly wind with a slight sea. The youths were found stranded on the rocks with the tide flooding. Two members of the crew of the life-boat took the dinghy ashore while the life-boat stood off. Cold and wet, the youths were brought to the lifeboat after trying to swim to safety. They were wrapped in blankets and given hot soup. The life-boat returned to her station at 10 p.m..
