A Small Boat
HELICOPTERS HELPED Fowey, Cornwall. At 4.46 p.m. on 2ist October, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a small boat had been reported ashore on the east side of Dodman Point. One body had been recovered but another was missing. The sea was slight with light airs from the north-east. At 5.5, one hour before high water, the life-boat Deneys Reitz put out to search for the missing person. Two helicopters also searched but despite the use of a rubber dinghy for close inshore work by the life-boat, no trace of the missing person was found. At 9 p.m. the life-boat returned to her moorings with the dinghy on board..
