Animals That Get Into Trouble Animals, like humans, - fre- quently feel the lure of the sea- shore." And iike humans they make news and cause a lot of in- convenience by getting "them- selves into trouble. - Some years ago a Divisional Officer of H.M. Coastguard was walking along the shore near Newcastle, Co. Down, at low water, and saw what appeared to be a dead dog lying on the rocks. Approaching it he was amazed to find it was a fox. Foxes like shell-fish and this one had been licking live limpets off the rocks: An extra large one had clamped down on Reynard's tongue, holding him like a vice until the Tising tide had drown- ed him. " ' Bullocks, sheep and dogs have the habit of. falling over cliffs, or getting caught by the rising tide in precisely the same man- ner as inexperienced holiday- makers. Such was the case when a coastguard on holiday at a little village called Abercastle, in Pembrokeshire, was affproach- ed hy a farmer for help One of the farmer's bullocks had crash- ed through an electric fence 'over a cliff and was trapped on a ledge sixty feet down. It was a tricky and dangerous situation, for the ledge was over a "blow-hole" with another drop ' of twenty feet into a cave. While the coastguard was preparing for the rescue the farmer went away and returned with thirteen other people, Stakes were driven into the-cliff,.top.and the coast- guard went down and secured the bullock with two ropes; it was then hoisted to the cliff-top by sheer "beef" : Few humans could survive a- sheer drop of sixtv fect, and one micht well expect that a heavy bullock would at least be badly hurt after such a fall. Yet to everybody's amazement the res cued beast merely shook itself and ambled back to the .farm with its owner, none the worse for its adventure. Dogs rank high among animals which get into scrapes along: shore. An R.A.F. officer on holi- day at Whitby spotted an injur- ed dog lying on a ledge 150 feet down an enormous cliff. He re- ported it to the coastguard who bravely went over the edge on a rope, descending to within fifty feet of the dog. At this point nothing more gould be done until more help was sought, so the rescue was temporarily abandoned. After further assistance had been ob. tained, the coastguard again went over the cliff and after an arduous two hours, brought the dog to safety. For this brave deed he was agvarded the Certi ficate of Bravery of the Dumb Friends League, "ment wouldn't buy it. \ Animal rescue stories do not always end so happily. In 1949, Mr. Berwyn Roderick was walk- ing near dangerous Compass Creek, Dartmouth, with his dog. The dog fell into the creek an Mr. Roderick dived in to rescue it, for an ugly sea was running 'The alarm was given and goaey guards were soon on the -spot; all, they found was Mr. Roder*. ick's coat and gloves. . A search' party was organized, "while a coastguard went down the cliff into' the heavy surf {8 try to save the dog which could be . seen. floating there. The heavy seas prevented him' from reaching the dag, and the search party were equally unsuccessful The following day Mr. Roderick's body was found -on the inner "side" of the creck and brought ashore. Some animals rescue stories have a strong element of comedy. A visitor to St. Margaret's Bay, Kent, decided to tie a small dog to a chair while having a meal at a cafe on the clifi-top. The dog became bored and ran away, dragging the chair after it. Coming to a two-hundred-foot cliff the dog plunged straight over, chair and all, eventually becoming caught up, still tied to the chair, on a rolled of rusty barbed wire sixty feet down, where it hung suspended. The unfortunate animal was in 'a bad way, for above it was a lot of loose earth; which at any moment threatened to slide and bury it from sight. Nevertheless, a coastguard volunteered to go to the dog's aid. Going down on a rope he detached the dog from its chair and taking it up, quite unharmed. restored it to its owner. He was awarded the Dumb Friends Lgague Bronze Medal and the Silver Medal of the National Canine Defence League. Not all animals-in distress are grateful for attempts to rescue them. Sheep are particularly un-cooperative. A small lamb belonging to a -Porthleven farmer jumped down on to the ledge of a cliff with a sheer drop into the sea. A coastguard with rescue apparatus and four help- ers came quickly to the scene yand the coastguard went down f.fty feet towards the lamb, which obstinately refused to be rescued and jumped on to the next ledge. This game went on "until there were no more ledges left for the lamb to jump to -- so she just jumped .into the sea and was drowned 2 ; Sheep are notoriously difficult creatures to extricate from danger. One afternoon a-woman went to a Berwick Coastguard Station saying that she had heard continuous bleating com- ing from over the edge of a cliff, and had marked the spot with a newspaper. Taking clifflines, two coastguards went to the spot and found a sheep perched on a two-foot' twenty feet down the cliff. By this time joined the rescue party, and one of the coastguards lowered him- self over on a rope, and after another rope round the sheep's body. Everything went well until" the sheep, with the per- versity of its kind, decided to ram its head into the only hole there was on the cliff-face. In doing so it caused the rope to slip along its body and contin- ued the journey to safety with its wrong end. up. They Pay To Sit'In This Farm's Ditch Farmer Jesse Reese felt op top of the-world when his geiger counter revealed that uranium was lying all over his land near Comanche, Texas. But his prospect of great wealth swiftly faded. The urani- um turned out to be such low- grade stuff that the govern- Then one day a knocked at his farmhouse door and said: "Radiation therapy for my rheumatics has cost me a small fortune during the past years. D'you mind if 1 come "and sit on your land for an hour and get a little free treatment? I'm told it's radio-active so it ought to do me good." Jesse consented and the stran- ger felt so much better after squatting in one of the large radio-active ditches on the farm, that he spread the word round. -- Pretty soon scores of men and women from miles around be- gan to bring their aches and pains to Jesse's ditches. It wasn't long before they be- came a great nuisande. They left gates open and spread. lit- ter. So Jesse charged. every person two dollars to sit on his radio-active soil. But that didn't stop them. By the end of that week rheumatism sufferers were queueing up to get in. Jesse suddenly saw "that here was a. wonderful way to make money.
