Joy was brought overnight to the homas of Eonald White, a 31' year-odd Birmingham chemist, and Bernard Jones, a 13-year-old Warwickshire boy, who returned safe and well after their disappearance on Boxing Day at Dfracombe. Their car was found deserted »t the pier and it was feared that they had perished when climbing the clilfs. Mr White explains that they wero 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 tsea. A freighter bound for Buenos Aires picked them up exhausted. Transhipment was impossible, so they were carried on to South America, where they lived by doing odd jobs ashore till they were able to work their passage home.
