New Quay,Cardiganshire-At2p.m.

on 16th August, 1967, the coastguard reported that a man had fallen over the cliffs at Llangranog. As it was considered that a small boat might be of assistance the IRB was launched at 2.6 in a fresh west north westerly breeze and a moderate sea. It was two hours after low water.

The life-boat St Albans was also launched at 2.14. The local cliff rescue team proceeded to the scene by road. On the outward journey the IRB developed engine trouble and returned to station under reduced speed. On reaching Llangranog the life-boat passed her grappling irons to two members of the rescue team who had descended to the rocks, accompanied by a doctor. The body of the man who had fallen was recovered and embarked on the life-boat together with the rescue party.

They were landed at New Quay and the life-boat returned to her station at 4.15.

The life-boat was being rehoused when information was received that a cabin cruiser was in difficulty off Aberaeron.

She was again launched and proceeded to the assistance of the cabin cruiser. On reaching the casualty it was found that the fishing vessel Aeron Belle had taken her in tow. The life-boat escorted both boats to harbour..
