  	IN GALE. Boat Capsized. LONG SWIM. NEWCASTLE. Tuesday. TWO young Sydney men had an unbelievable experience in yesterday's gale, when their sailing boat capsized in Lake Macquarie and they had to swim half a mile to reach the shore. The two men, one of whom is believed to be Mr. Roy Loft, a commercial artist of Sydney, who, with his friend, was spending a boating holiday at the lake, set out from Dora Creek yesterday morning in a 16ft. sailing boat, on their way down the lake to Sunshine. Between Sunshine and Rocky Point a particularly violent squall capsized the boat and the two men decided that their only chance was to swim. Were Exhausted. They reached the shore at Sunshine in an exhausted condition and one collapsed. After a rest, they borrowed two skiffs, and, accompanied by Mr. Richard Gambrill, set out to salvage their boat, which they succeeded in towing to the opposite shore. Gambrill stayed with them for several hours and late at night he set out to return to Sunshine, which he reached about 1am today. The sailing party was too exhausted to attempt the return journey last night and arrived back at Sunshine this morning.
