MAN is RESCUED
AFTER BEING LOST
ON LAKE IN HYDE
Durham Man Taken to Belhaven
Hospital by HelicoPter;
Condition Reported
Good

After an all-night search Sunday
night, a 24-year-old Durham man
lost in small boat on Lake Mat
tamuskeet was rescued about $3.50
am. Monday. Taken to Pungo Dis
trict Hospital in Belhaven by hell
copter, the victim, Louis Bernard,
was reported in good condition
despite having spent the whole
night out on the water at SUBJ
normal temperatures.
Mr.. Bernard and two brothers
rented boat from Ed Hodges at
Hodges Fork on the west side Of
the lake Saturday morning and
went into the lake fishing. The
three were not familiar with the
lake and Saturday afternoon could
not find their way back into the
canal to return to Hodges Fork,
SO instead they tied up on the
north side of the lake near Fair
field and spent the night.
On Sunday afternoon at a
o'clock, Louis Bernard left the
Mattamuskeet causeway alone in
the small outboard-motorboat to
return it to Mr.. Hodges dock.
Although it is reported that he
had had the course pointed out to
him, he somehow lost his way and
failed to find the canal entrance.
His brothers meanwhile were
waiting for him at Hodges Fork,
and when he failed to show up
after dark, a search was launched
for him. 1t was after day on Mon
day morning when Ben Simmons
of Fairfield sighted his boat wash
ed up against Heron Bay Island,
not far from the canal entrance.
When rescuers reached the boat,
they found Mr.. Bernard in it; a
Coast Guard helicopter arrived on
the scene about this time and car
ried the victim to the Belhaven
hospital.
