BODY FOUND St. Ives, Cornwall. At 5.11 p.m. on 15th September, 1965, a man was reported trapped on the rocks to the north of Portheras Cove and at 5.30 the life-boat Edgar, George, Orlando and Eva Child was launched with the honorary medical adviser on board. There was a light southsouth- westerly breeze, the sea was slight and the tide was flooding. The life-boat made for the Cove and off Zennor Head came up with the St. Ives IRB which had also put out. The IRB had picked up the body of a man in a cave a little to the north of the Cove. The body was transferred to the life-boat and landed at St. Ives at 7.15 p.m..
