Norman McIntosh, 45, fisherman, helped to save Henry, 61, captain, and George R. and Harry H. Hayden, both 13, apprentice seamen, from drowning, Souris, Prince Edward Island, October 8, 1907. At night, in a gale, McIntosh and another man put out in an 18-foot dory and rowed 2,700 feet to the schooner “Marcella,” which was wrecked on a pile of rocks in Souris Harbor, 750 feet from the shore where the water was over 12 feet deep. While one man rowed the dory, the other bailed water from it, and it was handled with great difficulty. Waves were breaking with great force over the rocks and the schooner, and it was necessary to approach the wreck three times and take the crew off one at a time. Fifteen minutes after the crew was taken off, the schooner went to pieces. 2645-591
