Salcombe, Devon - At 8.32 p.m. on 20th April, 1967, news was received that a boy was missing from a youth hostel at Oversteps and was presumed to have fallen over the cliffs at Lambrey Point.

The life-boat Baltic Exchange, with a dinghy in tow, was launched at 8.38 in a light north westerly wind and a smooth sea. It was an hour before low water. At 9.45 the dinghy took off the injured boy accompanied by an ambulance man who had reached him before the life-boat's arrival. The life-boat then took them to East Portlemouth where an ambulance was waiting. The life-boat returned to her station at 9.55..
