The four, unidentified, were brought back to the port dock. They were suffering from extreme exhaustion but required no medical treatment, Leroy Guthrie, owner of the Southwind, said. About 6 o'clock two Marines de cided to go for a swim after their duties at the dock. They jumped in the sound and swam out in the channel. After swimming a while they de cided to go back, but were caught by the outgoing tide. They tried to swim against it, but were hav ing little luck when two others no ticed their plight. They too jumped in and attempt ed to go to the assistance of the first two, but were also caught by the tide. A fifth, a Negro, jumped in to help the other four, but when he saw he couldn't help, came back before he was caught by the tide. About this time Mr. Guthrie, who runs a refreshment stand at the port, noticed what was going on and went for help. He jumped into his car and raced into town to Evans Street where his boat Southwind docked. He was in luck. It had just returned from a fishing trip and was about to secure. Mr. Guthrie told Captain Lewis about the four Marines struggling helplessly in the channel and the captain, accompanied by Capt. Wil lard Lewis, skipper of Mr. Guth rie's other partyboat, the Gulf Breeze, took off. The tide had carried the men about a mile from the state port dock by the time the Southwind arrived. The men were almost gone. Captain Willard Lewis threw life jackets to them and pulled them aboard while Captain Arthur took the helm. A Coast Guard pilot boat had, in the meantime, started to the res cue, but arrived after the men were aboard the Southwind.
