Throw- ing him a rope, to which he fast- ened himself, the Fremont's crew managed to pull him to safety. Oberg said after his rescue that he had managed to get one anchor over before the craft turned over, and he thought that perhaps he might be able to salvage the boat CLOSED ALL DAY MONDAY hauled to the grid nearer shore, and sank there, her superstructure, remaining above water.
