FEBRUARY 20TH. - TENBY PEMBROKESHIRE.

At about 8 P.M. information was received, through the coastguard, from the Naval Base at Milford Haven, that a soldier had fallen over the cliff at Cork Bay, near St. Govans Head. The motor life-boat John R. Webb was launched at 8.40 P.M., taking a small boat in tow. A light N.N.W. wind was blowing, with a ground swell.

The life-boat found the man, badly injured, got him aboard, and brought him to Tenby at 12.50 A.M. A donation was received from the 4th County of London Yeomanry to which the man belonged. - Rewards, £18 18s. 6d.
