RETURN OF MISSING PAIR
DISAPPEARANCE ON BOXING DAY LONDON, March 9. Joy was brought overnight to the homes of Ronald White, aged 31, a Birmingham chemist, and Bernard Jones, a 13-year-old Warwickshire boy, who returned safe and well after their disappearance on Boxing Day at Illfracombe. Their car was found deserted at the pier and it was feared they had perished while climbing the cliffs. White explains that they were cut off by the tide while walking along the beach. They found a dinghy and tried to row to the pier, but were swept out to sea.
A freighter bound for Buenos Aires picked them up exhausted, and as transhipment was impossible, they were carried on to South America. They lived by doing odd jobs ashore till they were able to work their passage home.
