JANUARY 31ST. - LLANDUDNO, CAERNARVONSHIRE. During the morning, a man who had arrived from Llandudno on the previous day fell over the cliffs near Pen Trwyn. A moderate southerly gale was blowing, with a rough sea. It was too rough for a rowing boat to put out and the motor life-boat Thomas and Annie Wade Richards was launched at 11.30 A.M. She found the man’s body about a mile and a half off Orme’s Head. The life-boat brought it back, arriving at 12.45 P.M. It was thought that the man had fallen when trying to save his hat, and that he was killed before he reached the water. - Rewards, £13 17s.
