Holyhead, Anglesey - At 10.23 p.m.

on 25th June, 1966, a boy was reported to have fallen over the cliff at Church bay. The coastguard rescue team and two helicopters were already searching.

The life-boat St. Cybi (Civil Service No. 9), carrying a boarding boat, was launched at 10.33 in a moderate west south westerly wind and a slight sea.

It was three hours after high water. The search was abandoned at 11.15 and the life-boat recalled. As she was leaving, a light was sighted at the foot of the cliff.

The boarding boat was sent to investigate and picked up two members of the search party who were stranded and unable to return to the cliff top. The life-boat returned to her station at 2.45 a.m. on 26th June..
