"Dolphins 'come to rescue' of three shipwrecked sailors"

"Johannesburg, South Africa—Dolphins guided three shipwrecked yachtsmen safely to shore through turbulent, shark-infested waters, the grateful sailors said yesterday.

"'As soon as we were all safely ashore,' they disappeared, Peter Stock told Johannesburg's Star newspaper.

"Stock and friends Terry MacDonald and Roger Hilligan were struggling to right their capsized sail-boat Wednesday when a school of dolphins appeared.

"'The dolphins surrounded me and my friends as I tried to right the boat and steer back to shore,' Stock said.

"Without the dolphin, the yachtsmen could have drifted further out to the sea, he said.

"'They gave us a feeling of security and spurred us into action,' he said."
