'It was really overwhelming': Lincoln man details Upper Coldstream Pond rescue

LINCOLN, Maine - Gary Perry Jr. has not had time to think.

He, his father, Gary Perry Sr., and his friend Kyle Davis had just returned Wednesday from the funeral of the father of Davis, who died suddenly while fishing in a boat in western Maine, where Perry friend Jeremy Priest called a little after 7: 40 pm A Lincoln firefighter, a priest wanted to know if Perry and his friends have been boaters Gardiner firefighters had been sent to rescue from the icy waters of Upper Coldstream Pond.

No, we're not, "said Perry.

Perry ran to the shore of the Davis house on the road and saw a Transalpine aluminum boat, a 12-foot capsized in the water maybe half a mile from where he was. Two men he did not know to float next to, obviously in great difficulty.

"We were just kind of reaction. It was really amazing, "Perry said Thursday. "We had just the funeral."

With the elder Perry take control, the three men took Davis boat and sped to the rescue of two men carry them in their business and their competition for land and the house of Stanhope Mill Road resident Sue blood.

"One guy was pretty bad. He was crying. We caught and pulled them into the boat," said Perry Jr.. "The guy who was crying saying how he was scared and we were like," You're right. It will be all right now. "We were just trying to prevent him from losing it completely. "

The three men have done much better than that, Lincoln Fire Chief Phil Dawson said. Without their intervention, the two fishermen may have succumbed to hypothermia.

"The challenge was to get out there in a timely manner against the choppy waters and strong winds and plucking two people from the water who were barely able to help themselves in a boat," Dawson said Thursday. "That's life or death, hypothermia. If you do not get in, they will not be able to help themselves in a timely manner and most likely to drown there. "

Gardiner men, aged 36, James Deaton and 19 years, Adam Cobb, were treated for symptoms of hypothermia or hypothermia at Penobscot Valley Hospital in Lincoln and later released, officials said.

They do not wear personal flotation devices when their boat capsized, they were caught, "said Edith Smith, director of information and education for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

"They were very happy they had a camp nearby owners," Smith said Thursday.
