Coast Guard captain loses greivance, denies ignoring boat in distress

Instead of providing assistance, Callaghan piloted his ship past Malpeque Harbour before calling the Marine Communications and Traffic Services Centre to ask whether he should help. After he was told that he should, he stopped and waited another five minutes to be told a second time. Then, by the time his ship arrived, the five occupants of the mussel boat had already been rescued by the local fire department.
