Fowey, Cornwall. At 10.13 P-m- °n I5th August, 1965, news came that a man and a boy were cut off by the tide on the west side of Lansallos beach. The lifesaving apparatus team were on their way and the assistance of the life-boat was requested. At 10.20 the life-boat Deneys Reitz put out in a light northerly breeze and a choppy sea, taking the boarding boat. It was almost two hours after high water. The man and his nine-year-old son were taken off the rocks by using the boarding boat and were transferred to the life-boat, which landed them at Polruan in Fowey harbour at 11.59 p.m..
