CAPTAIN COOK, Hawaii (AP) — The Coast Guard suspended its search for a New York teen swept out to sea in Hawaii, but the local fire department planned to continue for at least another day.

Tyler Madoff, 15, of White Plains, N.Y., was with a youth adventure tour group hiking along the shoreline of the Big Island’s west coast Wednesday. The group stopped to rest in a tide pool when waves washed him away, along with another 15-year-old boy, of Miami, Fla., who was eventually rescued and flown to a Honolulu hospital.
