SCOTS LOCH SEARCH FOR TWO BOATMEN
Screams for help sent a launch racing to where a lonely figure clung to an upturned boat in a Scottish loch yesterday.
And as 42-year-old Mr Charles Watson of Millvaig Drive, Farnhill, Rutherglen, was hauled from the Gareloch half-drowned, he gasped out to his rescuers that his young brother and brother-in-law had disappeared when their dinghy overturned.
The shouts were heard by workmen working on the new St Andrews Approved School at Shandon and they telephoned the Royal Navy at Faslane two miles away. As a naval launch raced to the spot a civilian launch put out from a local boatyard and made for the upturned craft.
Mr Watson was barely conscious by the time they reached him and was taken by ambulance to the Victoria Infirmary, Helensburgh where last night he was ‘quite comfortable’.
Police and naval craft are searching the area for any sign of the two other men.

Very dramatic!

Hi Helen. Oh my goodness, indeed, and I do wonder whether the other two were ever found. I appreciate your ongoing support. Best wishes. Jacqueline.
