Cleveland Standard, 4 July 1936:
NEWCASTLE YOUTH DROWNED AT MARSKE. CHASE AFTER BALL ENDS IN FATALITY. A
treacherous undertow which is almost always prevalent between Marske and
Saltburn at low tide claimed another victim on Friday afternoon. He was Roy Seribens, aged 16, of Greenhouse Terrace, Elswick,
Newcastle one of 146 Armstrong Vickers apprentices camping at Windy Hill, Marske.
A ‘Standard’ reporter who was on the scene shortly after the fatality learned
that Scribens, accompanied by five other youths from
the camp, had gone down to the beach to play with a ball. The ball accidentally
went into the sea and they all went in to fetch it
back. It was then that Scribens and other two lads,
Thomas Hunter, 16, of Canning Street, Benwell, Newcastle and John Stevenson,
17, of Sutton's Dwellings, Benwell, were suddenly swept off their feet by the
strong undertow and carried quickly out to sea. … Scribens’
body was recovered some 2 ½ hours later, being seen from the clifftop by two
members of the Boy’s Brigade, George farndale, aged 15 and William Bennell,
aged 14, both of Jarrow. Bennell stated that they were standing on the Cliff
when he saw Scribens’ body by the water’s edge. Farndale
then ran over to see if it were him. “I called Bennell and both of us
dragged him out. His face seemed to be buried in the sand. Two men in
bathing costumes came along and applied artificial respiration,” said Farndale.
Seen afterwards by a reporter, these two men refused to give their names, but
admitted being Middlesbrough policemen. A van rushed Scribens
along to Marske, where injections and heart massage were applied by Dr Holroyd,
but to no avail.... John Stevenson, aged 17, of Sutton dwellings, Benwell,
Newcastle, said that he managed to get back to the shore without help, but was
exhausted. Several of the rescuers got into difficulties and had to be helped. George
Farndale, Clyde Street, Jarrow, and another boy found the body later about
250 yards from the scene of the tragedy....
