MISSING ON CLIFFS At 10.32 p.m. on I2th August, 1964, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a boy was missing on Amroth cliffs. There was a smooth sea with very little wind. The tide had been ebbing for one hour when the life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched at 10.41, taking a punt with her. At 11.15 a search party of the life-boat crew members and the life-saving apparatus team found the boy some 60 feet up the cliff, with the aid of flares fired from the lifeboat.

When the boy was safely down the cliff, the life-boat returned to her station at 1.30 a.m..
