CUT OFF BY TIDE Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 9.35 a.m.

on 24th October, 1964, the coastguard told the life-boat mechanic that a man and a dog were cut off by the tide about five miles south-east of Pembrey. The tide was one hour past high water, and the sea was smooth with a gentle northwesterly breeze. At 9.58 the life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched but a helicopter from the nearby naval air station rescued the man and dog before she arrived. The life-boat returned to her station at 12.30 p.m..
