Coverack, Cornwall - At 7.45 p.m.

on 5th August, 1966, it was learnt that a man had fallen over the cliff four miles west of Coverack. The life-boat William Taylor of Oldham was launched at 7.59 and with a dinghy in tow proceeded to the position given. There was a light west north westerly breeze and a slight sea. It was five hours after low water. The dinghy manned by three of the crew was rowed ashore. After receiving first-aid the patient on a stretcher was placed in the dinghy, which with the three life-boatmen on board was towed to harbour. On arrival the injured man was attended to by the honorary medical adviser. The lifeboat returned to her station at 10 o'clock..
