Rescue crews scour bay after publisher’s boat found adrift

Rescue crews searched the Chesapeake Bay on Sunday for a prominent publisher and former diplomat whose sailboat was found empty and drifting in shallow water.
Philip Merrill, 72, an experienced sailor, had taken his sailboat out alone Saturday, and he typically followed an 18-mile round trip without wearing a lifejacket, said Col. Mark Chaney, superintendent of the Maryland Natural Resources Police.
