PETER PAN was rescued on 28th December 1997 Peter Pan was rescued from Soapy Cove, near Mullion, on the 28th of December 1997. He weighed only 24kg, was dehydrated, and had a number of nasty bite wounds to his flippers. He also had a severe nailbed infection on his front right flipper, and strange matching wounds on either side of his mouth, as if something had been wrapped around his lower jaw. He was in a very poor condition when we found him, but Soapy Cove is very difficult to get to. It is only due to the much appreciated help of some strapping lads from Mullion airfield, that we managed to get him up the steep cliff paths and back to the Sanctuary!
