BRAVE RESCUE.
THRILL ON BEACHY HEAD A brave rescue on Beachy Head has earned the Bronze Medal of the Royal Humane Society for two Eastbourne policemen. Venturing too close to the edge during a violent gale a London visitor was blown over and was caught on a projecting rock some distance down. Sergeant John Arnold went down the face of the cliff on a rope, and Sergeant Cyril Simmons followed him on another. Both ropes proved too short, but luckily Arnold had a short piece with him which he knotted to the rope from which lie dangled in the wind and rain. He thus succeeded in reaching the injured man. Aided by men of the signal station above, the two policemen dragged him pafely to the top.
