			'''December 4, 1963 [LBI]:''' “Skindiver's Body Found Near Catalina. The body of Lawrence McWhirter, 22, of La Puente, who drowned Sunday while searching for another drowned skindiver, was found Tuesday off Santa Catalina Island by searchers in a two-man submarine. McWhirter's father had hired an underwater survey team which owned the submarine to make the search. The body was located in 155 feet of water near Pirate's Cove. The youth drowned while searching for the body of Gary Webber, 18, of Pacoima, who reportedly panicked while under water and ripped the face-mask off Lee L. Calvert, 18, of Monrovia, who tried to help him. Calvert survived after treatment for a severe attack of bends brought on by too fast surfacing.”
