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....
