Long distance rescue Most people have heard of the Titanic. It was the largest passenger ship in the world and was launched in 1912, but on its very first voyage it hit an iceberg and sank in the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the 1,517 people on the ship died in the freezing water (1). It is a very strange tale, but luckily it had a better ending than the story of the original Titanic.

Alex Evans works on a lifeboat in Wales and he spends a lot of his time rescuing people from the sea. They are usually swimmers or fishermen who are stuck on rocks when the sea comes in. These rescues are usually simple and don't require aeroplanes or international search-and-rescue operations (2)

On Monday Alex was shopping with his mother when his mobile phone rang. He was surprised to get a signal and answered

It. He was even more surprised to hear the voice of his friend Mark Corbett, who was on a motorboat in the Caribbean over He told Alex that the boat was sinking and they needed help! At first, Alex thought

4,000 miles away. (3)

that it was a joke. (4) Then he heard the panic in Mark's voice and realised that it a real emergency.

Mark said that there was a lot of water in the boat and they had lost power. (5) phone and the only number he could remember was Alex's!

He was using the satellite

Alex stayed calm and wrote down the information about where the boat was (6). three hours later they found Mark's boat and rescued them. (7)

They sent out planes and

their boats Titanic in the future!

Maybe boat owners should avoid calling

A Then he contacted an international rescue centre.

B Mark was with some other men, taking a boat to Grenada

C Luckily everyone was OK because of the actions of a good friend 4,000 miles away!

D They couldn't use the long-range radio.

E However this week he was part of a sea rescue that was a little different

F Imagine someone phoning you and saying that they are on the Titanic and it's sinking!

G Now another boat with the same name. The Titanic, has been in the news because it got into trouble at sea
