You may have to blow up the picture a bit to see it but the life belt is held on the wall by a wire cradle at the bottom and a wire hook at the top. The thing wot looks like a club is actually the device for throwing the belt out to sea. Grab hold of the bit that looks like a hand hold and pull the "club" out of the belt. The fat end of the club contains a rope the end of which which you can see attached to the life belt as a black lop at about eleven o'clock. My other half worked this out and then I found some pics on google images to confirm.

Nest question?
