Amazing rescue - thanks to mobile phone

Two teenagers capsized in the sea off the south coast of England and called Japan on a mobile phone to ask for help. Brother and sister Ken i Emily Booth were on a sailing holiday near Southampton. But because of huge waves their dinghy capsized and they were thrown into the sea. Ken 17, and Emily, 16, spent 30 minutes trying to right the capsized dinghy, but without success. They couldn't get back into the dinghy, and they couldn't attract the attention of passing ships. After they'd been in they felt very cold. Then Emily remebered her mobile phone in its watertight container in her pocket and reached for it. But she didn't think of dialling 999, teh emergency number. Instead she phoned their father, who was 6,000 miles away in Tokyo on a business trip. Emily explained: ' I thought it would be quicker to phone someone I knew and tell them our position. I dialled Dad's number and he contacted the coastguard.' About the minutes later, after they had held on to the dinghy for nearly an hour, they heard a helicopter. Next, everything happend very quickly, and Ken and Emily were picked up and carried to safety. Afterwards, the coastguard said that the teenagers were lucky to be alive and very, very lucky that the mobile had worked. 'Anyone in trouble should contact to coastguard direct on 999,' he added.
