DANGEROUSLY CLOSE At 8.50 p.m. on 9th September, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a small motor boat was in difficulties off Trebetherick Point. The sea was slight with light south-westerly airs.

Visibility was hampered by fog. Just before high water, at 9.10, the life-boat Joseph Hiram Chadwick put out. She found the motor boat within feet of the rocks, took her in tow to the harbour, and returned to her station at 9.50..
