[November 15, 2008]  ALGONQUIN, Ill. (AP) -- Authorities say three Chicago high school students have drowned while paddle-boating on a river during a leadership retreat.

InsuranceFire official John Greene in suburban Algonquin says chaperones likely were asleep Friday morning when students took four or five paddle boats into the Fox River.

The students attended North Lawndale College Prep. Only one of the bodies has been pulled from the river.

The bottom plugs of the boat had been removed and the boats taken out of service for the winter.
