Coast Guardsmen Rescuers Save Capsized Boat Crew

Coast Guardsmen from the Kennebec River station at Popham Beach rescued occupants Edward K. Trent and John Trent of Sewickley PA after their 18 foot sloop capsized off Seguin ledges during a sudden squall. They clung to the hull for about half an hour before being hauled aboard the life boat and later towed to Small Point. Two companions, Thomas B. Fulwaiter and Spencer Fulwaiter of Wallingford PA, remained nearby but could not assist. The four mariners, visiting Friendship and cruising the coast, resumed their journey after drying camping gear.
