Your notes....

You call Lt. Paul Wolf, spokesman for the Boston office of the U.S. Coast Guard. He says Coast Guard monitoring stations on Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard heard a single distress call from the Sol E Mar on April 3. The Coast Guard tried to get the caller back in order to locate the ship and send help. But just over a minute after the first distress call was received, another call came in. This call appeared to be a hoax distress call, a prank. Coast Guard monitors assumed the two calls came from the same ship, that both were hoaxes, and therefore didn't send begin a search.
On April 7, the Sol E Mar was reported missing. The Coast Guard realized the original distress call had been genuine, and dispatched rescue planes and boats to conduct a search. But by then it was too late, Wolf says. Wolf tells you he has a tape of the two calls recorded by the monitoring stations.
