Then the sight was worse than the greatest fears. The boat emerged bottom upwards with large a hole in the hull. A dozen speed boats rushed her.
Willcocks was the first to be dragged from the water. He was badly injured over the eyes, and his thigh was broken. Segrave was picked up unconscious within a few seconds. Both were taken ashore and sent to hospital.
