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.
