Ilfracombe, Devon-At 8.45 p.m.

on 2nd June, 1968, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a youth had fallen over the cliffs at Tors Walk, Brandy Cove. The cliff rescue team had lowered a doctor to assist him. The life-boat Lloyd's II, with a rubber dinghy in tow, was launched at 10.46 in a light easterly breeze and a slight sea. It was one hour before high water. On reaching the scene the dinghy was used to transfer the injured youth to the life-boat, which took him to Ilfracombe where an ambulance was waiting to take him to hospital. The life-boat then returned to the scene to take off the doctor and six members of the cliff rescue team, who were unable to negotiate the cliff face in the total darkness. The dinghy completed the transfer in four trips and the life-boat returned to her station at 12.50 a.m. on 3rd June.

Owing to low water she was not rehoused until 3 a.m..
