By Elizabeth Ratto, Globe Correspondent
The Coast Guard says it plans to search through the night for a man
who went missing in the water near Gallops Island around 6 p.m. tonight.
The man was part of a group of four who went swimming from
their sailboat and drifted away from it. One person made it back to the
boat, one swam to the nearby rocks, and another was recovered by the
marine assistance service Sea Tow.
The Coast Guard, as well as crews from the State Police,
Environmental Police and Boston Fire Department initiated their search
at 6:20 p.m., and a "first light" helicopter search was scheduled for
