Summary
Two hunters on High Island, Bill Ross and a guest from Philadelphia, were assisted by the Coast Guard after rough seas prevented their planned pickup for two days during the 1964 hunting season. The October Beaver Beacon reports that the Coast Guard was called before noon and prevented a third night on the island.
Evidence and limits
The report supports the assistance episode but does not identify the Coast Guard unit or rescue vessel, give a precise date, or provide an official log.
