Three young men drowned yesterday on a fishing trip in Smallwood, a small Sullivan County town. Their boat capsized, the police said. A fourth man from Brooklyn was able to swim to safety. Here from the NY Times.

The men
were fishing on Mountain Lake, in Smallwood, N.Y., about 10 miles west
of Monticello, when their boat capsized at about 1:30 p.m., the police
said.

A woman walking her dog along the shore heard the boaters’
screams for help and dialed 911, the Sullivan County sheriff’s office
said.

Gianfranco Generoso, 20, the survivor, managed to swim to
shore, where a passerby helped him from the water, the police said. The
passerby told them he had seen the other men in the water but lost
sight of them.

Michael Schiff, the Sullivan County sheriff, said
the victims and Mr. Generoso were related and were visiting family in
the area.

Mr. Generoso was taken to Catskill Regional Medical Center, where he was treated for hypothermia and released, the police said.

About
4:30 p.m., with State Police helicopters hovering over the lake, and
with rescue workers searching the water, divers from the Sullivan
County Dive Team pulled the bodies of two of the men from the water.
