Daring rescue as two boys spur lifesaving crew on Arctic lake
Maritime historian Richard Palmer recounts the 1886 Ariadne wreck on Lake Ontario. A stranded Canadian schooner loaded for Oswego battled gale force winds, ice and reef grounding. Two schoolboys spotted the wreck, alerted residents, and lifeboat crews from Big Sandy Lifesaving Station braved freezing surf to rescue three men and recover the mate's icy coffin.
