on 4th July, 1965, the honorary secretary was told that one of two men being pursued by the police had run into the sea at Crantock and was swimming towards West Pentere. At 10.40 the IRB launched in a moderate north-easterly breeze and corresponding sea and came up with the man, who was exhausted and clinging to the rocks at Viegga Cove. He was thrown a line and taken aboard the IRB, which returned to her station at 11.25 p.m..
