WARRENTON, Ore. — Authorities have rescued two people from a boat that was taking on water at the entrance of the Columbia River.
The U.S. Coast Guard says two men were taken aboard a 47-foot life boat from Cost Guard Station Cape Disappointment on Wednesday.
The Coast Guard says a call for help came from the men on a 33-foot wooden hull pleasure boat, which reportedly struck an unknown object and started taking on water.
The Coast Guard says when efforts to tow the vessel while using a pump to remove the water failed, the crew removed the men from the boat.
