Trio Survives Lake Erie Sinking Near Toledo Shore
Three men aboard a cabin cruiser encounter a sinking in Lake Erie ten miles from the Toledo shore as sunset fades. They battle three-foot waves, reach a buoy, and await rescue after a submerged object rams the hull. Explosions from distant artillery shells are heard but pose no immediate danger. Adler, Coffin, and Hilgeman are found soon after by a private cruiser and Coast Guard cutter, uninjured but in cold condition.
