Woman rescued in harbour

An 19 year old  Thunder Bay woman is in hospital suffering from hypothermia after being rescued on the harbour near the mouth of the Neebing-McIntyre Floodway. A Fire Service official says she had become stranded and police say she was hanging on to a tree stump.  A hovercraft was used in the rescue.   It's not clear how she got there but police say alcohol was involved. . Her cries for help were heard by workers at Keefer Terminal before 10 o'clock this morning.
