WITH regard to your story (August 15) covering the tragic drowning of a young man at Hartford Marina, your report gave the impression that no assistance was offered to the couple until the emergency services arrived. This was not the case.

These individuals wasted no time thinking about their own safety and were all left traumatised by the event. They deserve to be praised, as without their assistance there could quite probably have been a double tragedy.
