FROM UPTURNEO SAILBOAT BY ROCKY POINT FERRY

Peter Gamble, 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. I-‘red Gamble, and David Vail. son of Mr. and Mrs. Hilton Veil, both of Spring Park Road, were rescued from the waters of Char- lottetown Harbour yesterday even- ing by the Rocky Point Furry after the two lads had clung to an over- turned sailboat for a half an hour.

Mr. Joseph Taylor who was at the wheel of the Fairview noticed that a small sailboat, which was in the harbour when the boat was making its five o'clock trip to Rocky Point. was apparently no longer there when the boat started on return to the City. After scan- ning the surface of the water. he noticed an object near the Rose- bank buoy. He called the attention of Captain Jerry Doucette who or- dered the ship's course altered. As they tirew near they could discern two pEl'.~‘0f‘.S clinging to the boat.

A liiebuoy was thrown and the two boys were soon hauled aboard. Captain Doucette gives great cred- it to the alertness of Mr. Taylor in spotting the upturned craft and making the rescue without loss of time. Said the Captain, “They could not have lasted too long in that water."

The parents are ever so grateful

to the crew of the Fairview who did everything possible for the boys‘ t-omiort. 'I‘:ie_\' lcnt their own clothing, even to socks. in order to restore warintli. Mr. Jack Cameron who was coming across on the boat put the bo_vs in his CZII‘ and took them to their respective homes. Mrs. Gamble. mother of Peter, said later in the e-venirig, "There will be a sail boat for sale at our house." She states that after school. Peter and David had taken the 11-foot‘ boat. which they had built last winter. for a sail. A still breeze was blowing at. the time and con- trary to warnings about Elllllllg in windy weather. the two boys set out. When they were about oppo- site Rnsebank. a sudden gust caught the sziil and quickly fumed the boat wrong side up. The boys saw that they were drifting to- wards Rosebank and were hopeful that they could hold on until they got into shallow water. but admit later that they could not have lasted that long. Said Peter later to his mother. “I never prayed so hard in all my life."

Water Safety Training Discussed

"5000 or more in '54" has been set as an objective in water safety training for children and adults by the Provincial Red Cross of- ficials. following a luncheon meet- ing at Red Cross House here yes- terday which was attended by a large representation of enthusias- tio workers from all parts of the Island.

Rev. M. V. Dunbar. chairman of the Water and Safety Program. opened the meeting but was re- quired to relinquish the chair to the Red Cross vice-president. Mr. E. C. Johnstone, owing to other urgent business.

Director, Mrs. Evelyn Cudmore. submitted her annual report indi- cating that 3668 persons, mostly children had been given water safety training during the past year with a very high percentage

of success in passing the final tests. L o c a l chairmen. representing

more than 30 groups. made highly satisfactory reports on behiilf of their respective unlls and pledged themselves to continue the work with renewed zeal.

Somerled Trainor and Earl Mac- Leod. representing the Kiwanis Club. were present, the former re- questing co-operation from. the Red Cross in the operation of the chlldren’s swimming pool in Vic- torla Park.

Other active members or exe- cutives of organizations present, who spoke briefly but with con- viction on the worthiness of the water safety program were: Fred Bingham, Ken Walker and Ralph MacFarlane. representing the Y's Men's Club. Summerside.

Brigadier W. W. Reid. Depart- ment of Physical Fitness. Bill Kingston. Y.M.C.A. Camp. Ralph Rupert. MREC Camp, Augustine Cove, and Miss Suzanne MacKin- non. Girl Guide‘: Camp. Past President R. H. Rogers also spoke briefly. Dr. George Fisher, repre- senting the Boy Scnuu, concluded the discussions by summarizing the points reviewed.

A school of instruction will be opened in Charlottetown on Tues- day. June 15. followed by a similar activity under the program from July 2 to July 12.
