Fishermen brave surf to save ill child from Deal Island lighthouse
In Victoria, three Port Albert fishermen in a 14 ft ship rode a gale to evacuate 27 month old Leila Bogan, daughter of the lighthouse keeper, from Deal Island to hospital. The Eva reached the mainland after a 15 hour voyage under sail and a small engine, aiding a critically ill child whose condition had deteriorated despite earlier attempts by jeep and road transport.
