The dicker of a match led to the rescue under dramatic circumstan- ces of three young men who had made a venturesome descent. of Fairlight Cliffs, near Hastings.

They were students of the Jesuit College at Hastings, named Bagts, Ramackers and Vroonhaver. Their start down the cliffs was begun ong afternoon, and when at nightfall it was noticed that they had not returned two coastguards, Smith and Saunders, organised a search party, which included friends of the missing men."

Aided by flares, they scoured the ledges and the cliff bottom, as well as the thick undergrowth, being baffled time and again by the echoes of cries which were faintly heard through the gusty wind.

Returning to the cliff top, the re- scuers decided to make a fresh at- tempt by lowering men at certain points.

While they were making preparations for this the tiny ficker of a struck match was seen, the three students being found 200 and this serving as a clue led to
