Private William Bonneville, of Chester, Pennsylvania, shivering with cold after an exhausting struggle with the chill currents of the English Channel, is wrapped in a blanket and given hot coffee in the galley of the Coast Guard Rescue Cutter that picked him out of the water. The craft was one of the flotilla of 83-footers that was credited with more than 1,100 rescues since D-Day.
