YOUTHS ON ROCKS Dover, Kent. At 9.39 p.m. on 9th May, 1964, a message from Dover harbour control tower reported a small fire at the foot of the cliffs at Fan Bay between Dover and St. Margaret's. At 9.56 the life-boat Southern Africa left her moorings, taking a dinghy with her, and made for the position in a moderate southwesterly wind, moderate sea and flooding tide. She found two youths on a rocky ledge surrounded by water. The youths were taken into the dinghy and transferred to the life-boat, which returned to her station at 11.15..
