DECEMBER 28TH. - NEWQUAY, CORNWALL.

An American Liberator aeroplane had crashed in the darkness and caught fire, but she was right under the cliffs, and the life-boat could not get nearer than 300 yards.

With the rising tide would-be rescuers, who went along the shore, were cut off by the tide and a very heavy ground sea, and the air crew and their rescuers to the number of eighteen lost their lives. All were members of the U.S.A. Forces. - Rewards, £24 11s..
