BABY ITS COLD — What brave sole would be willing to dive into the water when the temperature of the water was approximately 39 degrees? Bill Byers, that’s who. He is a scuba diver from Goshen employed by Indiana Salvage Co. He was called when a boat, owned by Rex Jernigan of Fort Wayne, sank about two weeks ago in the channel on Pickwick Road, Syracuse. On Friday afternoon, with the cold wind blowing and the temperature outside at 26 degrees, he jumped into the water to rescue the sunken boat. Parachute bags were used to lift the boat up and then the water was pumped out of the boat. A rope was tied to the boat and to another pier on the other side of the channel. The boat was then pulled over and lifted out of the water. The whole rescue effort took about 4«4-shours. (Photo by Linda Musselman)
