LIFE-BOAT TOWED BULLOCK At 3.50 p.m. on 2ist November, 1965, a farmer informed the coxswain that a bullock had fallen over the cliff at East Pickard Bay and asked for the life-boat's assistance. The life-boat Richard Vernon and Mary Garfonh of Leeds was launched at 4.30 in a moderate northerly breeze and in a slight swell. It was at high water.

The bullock was found standing on the rocks below the cliff. A boarding boat put ashore and towed the animal to the lifeboat which then towed it to West Angle Bay, three miles away. The bullock was returned to its owner and the life-boat was back at her station at 7.40 p.m..
