Coxswain Dave Troutman got a call from the Coast Guard
around 10:55 p.m. Thursday, July 5, about a boating accident on Oneida Lake
less than a half-hour earlier. By 11:55 Troutman and his Flotilla 26 crew, Bob
Newton and Ralph Moore, launched from the Coast Guard Auxiliary Base at Sylvan
Beach and joined the search for three men ejected into the water when their
boat apparently struck a concrete buoy (Buoy 113) some three miles west of
Sylvan Beach.
