RESCUED THIS MORNING
BY SAMPAN
Three local yachtsmen almost lost their lives last night when the "Wasp II," (A. 3) owned by Mr. Merritt N. Cootes, U.S. Vice-Consul, foundered in a gale off the Ninepins, about six miles from Cape Collinson. Those aboard, in addition to the owner, were Mr. J. R. Bergne-Coupland, of Reiss, Massey and Co. and Mr. H. C. Meeke, of the Bank Line. After being nearly two hours in the water, all three managed to swim to a small

picked up by a passing sampan.
After the yacht foundered, the three men managed to hang on to an inflated rubber mattress, but when it was apparent that they were in danger of being carried out to sea, they made a bold bid to swim to a nearby island, which they reached in an exhausted state.
All three yachtsmen are suffering from shock and from the effects of a night spent in wet clothing on an uninhabited island, and are confined to their homes.
Mr. Cootes, interviewed by the Telegraph this morning, stated that he and his companiona were at a point between the Ninepins and Stoop Island just beyond Fu Tau Mun Pass, at about six o'clock last night when a sudden squall. struck them.
