The'fishermen at Grand Bend couldn't get out on account of the heavy waves, so: he telephoned to Bayfield for help. Lewis McLeod, with his two sons, Robert and Mac, in the "Helen McLeod 2" and John McLeod, with Willard and Newton Sturgeon, in the "Donald Mac", went to the rescue. They located the boat about a mile off shore between Drys- dale and St. Joseph. Owing to the heavy sea it was difficult to get a tow line aboard.
