BOYS RESCUED Exmouth, South Devon. At 9.30 a.m.

on 2ist March, 1965, the police at Dawlish informed the honorary secretary that three boys had been cut off by the tide at the Parson & Clark rocks near Dawlish.

The life-boat Michael Stephens slipped her moorings at 9.55, there were light airs from the south-east and a smooth sea. As it was high water the life-boat was able to proceed across the Pole Sands and, on arriving at the position, saw the last of the boys being hauled up the cliff by the Dawlish Fire Service. Three men had swam some eighty yards to comfort the three boys and help in their rescue. The boarding boat manned by three of the life-boat's crew went in and the three men were brought back to the life-boat. The men who were extremely cold were given hot refreshments and landed at Exmouth where they were taken home by car. The life-boat reached her station at 11.30.

The action of the three men has been referred to the Royal Humane Society..
