PEOPLE BEING PEOPLE

A twelve-year-old boy was recently rescued a mile off the coast of Wales  when he drifted away from shore with only a child's rubber ring to keep him afloat.

A lifeboat crew saved the boy as he suffered from hypothermia and was about to fall unconscious. If he had, the crew said, he would have slipped out of the floating ring and drowned.

The boy had been playing by the seaside and had been carried off by the current into the sea. He had been drifting about 45 minutes when the rescuers found him.
